Mono configuration
Now it’s time to configure what ASP.NET pages you want to run. We want ASP.NET 2.0, so we should run

Excuse me, but it’s “/usr/bin/mod-mono-server2″ not “mod-mono_server2″. Thank you very much for this great stuff, now I’ll be able to work with c# with my Opensuse:)

gmcs is not just for generics, it is the 2.0 version of Mono's C# compiler, so you need to use it for any app that you want to target the 2.0 runtime. It has full support for C# 2.0 features, including partial classes (and now also has full support for C# 3.0 features :).

GTK# is the C# wrapper around the GTK+ toolkit, like Winforms is the C# wrapper around the Win32 toolkit. The development IDE you are referring to is called MonoDevelop.

Thank you for clarifications, jpobst

Yes, I meant MonoDevelop, but it still not very user friendly

I have an appl developed with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, runnin gon Windows 2003 with MS SQL.

Is it possible to port it to linux (with not many modifications)?

Getting this running on Windows:

Program Features/Windows Features/Check off IIS.

Run management console app for IIS if you really want to make changes but you don't have to.

You're done, with not a text file to edit, not a configuration to get exactly right, and not a line entered into a command prompt.

I rest my case about Linux: If you have lots of time and nothing better to do, you can get to where you want to go, but why would you bother? (cost is not a reason, because at the end of the day they cost about the same after one year)

I have been involved with mono for about two years now. My experience can be described as painful. Why I am using mono then? the answer is, I have learned programming with Microsoft using visual studio from 2003 up till 2008 and mastered vb.net and C#. while I am learning Linux and UNIX systems, I found programming simple GUI applications in linux requires learning C++ or possibly C. So in order for me to start programming in linux, I will completely have to change my style and attitude towards programming which requires learning another programming language such as java, and dealing with bash very often. I am planing to learn C++ and Java for the future but not now. Thanks god, I have start to understand mono and I found it really a great step towards cross platform development. The real strength in the mono project is the asp.net side of it. 99% of the codes for microsoft will work on apache linux using the mod-mono (mono-server2), mono-develop xsp server. The story is a bit different in the system level for one reason, and that is using windows forms is different to using gtk# as windows uses a co-ordinate to position element while gtk using a tree style, for example to position an element say for example a textbox then you will have to place it inside a container such as hbox.

My advice to those who came from the windows world is as follows:

1- Windows and linux are two different species, Don't expect everything in the dotnet will be supported in linux specially at the system level

2- understand bash or any fav shell, because it is the main interface you will be dealing with unlik windows everything is a click of a button.

3- comming from an ide such as visual studio to the ide mono develop requires great understanding of the preferred language for example visual studio makes things easier and does a lot of things behind the seine so the developer is focused on the visual aspect of it while mono-develop requires you to do a bit more. for example adding a text box in mono develop requires you declaring it manually in the code behind if it is going to be used to send input to a function while visual studio put it this

take the textbox and position it in the windows(form)

double click , and you automatically find yourself in the code behind page and the click event is written by default(handy for button).

4- mono project is worth learning

Here is a a tutorial i have written to help others avoid frustration.

I am not claiming it is 100% correct but it will work (i hope)

note

if you want to participate, add , or correct some of the information so please follow the link in the website (contact safwan).

What makes mono difficult is the availability of information and documentation is poor

Very good information and I came from the Windows world and still want ASP.net 2.0, as I can’t afford Windows Server 2003 or 2008, even a Small Business Server…

I found myself more productive and comfortable with C#/ASP.net than with C++/PHP.

The reason for choosing Mono is I wanted to be able to have applications communicate via .net when it comes to writing my own home automation server/application.
