Is anyone using these products under 7.1 Pro? I would like to just install the RPM for SuSE if it is available opposed to compling from source, etc. Jonathan

It's all mostly vapourware at the moment, even on Windows. Ximian claim to have a mostly working C# compiler but haven't released anything AFAIK. Sounds like you've been swept along by the Microsoft PR machine. What you really want are truly open standards, unrestricted by patents, licenses and other such guff. Do you...? ;) -- 8:05am up 13 days, 23:46, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.06

I'm definately an in the open standards group. I am looking at these tools in the event that I may need to support a heterogeneous M$/GNU solution. I never took the time to learn PERL and REGEXP, so I'm trying to stay familiar enough with the old tools along with the new tools so that I'm marketable. :) Microsoft released their Visual C# .NET & Visual Studio .NET products last week. You can download the runtime for NT4.0SP6, 2K, XP but I would rather start under SuSE than develop under Linux and test on NT4.0. Jonathan

I must've missed that announcement on account of having very little interest. ;) I am considerably less than astonished, though, that the great visionary's common language/platform thing is only available for Windows. It's just as predicted: Microsoft will tune their technologies to work best and work first with Windows. They don't have any interest in doing anything else. Honestly, .NET will become the new Windows development API. I can't see any other platform taking it seriously. Anyone who wants true cross platform abilities will continue to use Java or Perl or C++/Qt and so on. If you want to learn .NET technologies as a career move, then do so. Just don't assume you'll be able to do it under anything but Windows. -- 8:33am up 15 days, 13 min, 1 user, load average: 0.23, 0.08, 0.05

There is also (already | soon ) a FreeBSD version.

Recently sent to the kde-devel list.... <snip> Hello All, Just wanted to let anyone who might be interested know what is going on with the Qt c# bindings. Tonight, I was finally able to compile the bindings for 476 Qt classes. The hello world example is now referencing this compiled dll. Slots and Signals are also fully implemented and all of this running on linux with mint and mono. mcs is not able to compile the bindings _yet_ although I have been able to exercise mcs a little and point out some bugs ;-) There are still quite a few tasks before the qt bindings will be useful for real development: 1. No way to extend the qt classes _yet_ (this is next) 2. Several Qt classes are missing methods and constructors because... 3. The type mappings are not completely fleshed out 4. No kde classes Well, I can envision these bindings ready for some practical development very soon as well as providing some scaffolding for Windows.Forms in the not to distant future. </snip> George Russell
