Mono C#: basic question

Hello,

I have just started using Mono C# on Fedora Linux Core 3. Since the RPMs did
not work I got the mono-1.0.5.tar.gz and mcs-1.0.5.tar.gz tarballs and unpacked
and built them in that order which worked just fine. The result was that among
other things I ended up with executables mcs (Mono C# compiler), mint, and
mono. So now I would like to ask, what is the difference between running
some .exe file through mint and running it through mono? Which is better
and why? Both commands seem to have the same effect of running my program.

Thanks,

Neil

As I understand it, mint is an interpreter, whereas mono will run with
a JIT (like normal .NET does).

My tip is to subscribe to forums.novell.c om and ask around.

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=7554 The question for the Free Software community to ruminate is this: Is supporting Mono supporting our own desktop downfall? A statement attributed to Steve Ballmer at a party a few years ago would support this possibility. To paraphrase, when asked about Mono, he shrugged it off with a statement alluding to the fact if Mono got too popular, that's what lawyers are for. Mind you this is...

Is anyone here using Mono at all? And if you are - are you using it on Linux? And if you answer yes to either, then I would like to discuss the design of a ncurses language binding I'm developing :) I have a couple of approaches in mind - and I just need someone who is a little familiar with linux, mono, and ncurses to bounce them off of :) -- Tom Shelton MVP

Dear Group, I have a question about the result from ‘graphics.MeasureString' when using a mono-spaced font. Firstly I assume that Courier New font is mono-spaced, ie each character takes up the same space when drawn on the screen. I am working on a program that requires displaying data in fixed width font. I assumed that with ‘graphics.MeasureString' I could calculate the width of the string when drawn in a specified font.

Hi, There doesn't seem to be a usenet group for Mono programming, so I thought I'd post my question here. In Visual Studio I set the data formatting expression for one of my DataGrid columns to {0:#.##}. When I run this on my test IIS server all is sweet. When I post this to my Apache server, I get a FormatException. If I change the format expression to one of the pre-defined ones (like {0:g}), then I don't get a FormatException.

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
