what are some things i should look for when compiling/building an app written in C# done through mono/cocasharp? i have been able to successfully compile & run at school with vs.net, so i know that there is correct cod ein there. i tried the Hello.cs example on the cocoasharp website to make sure that i had installed the framework correctly, and it will build and launch as it should. when i try on my school project, it builds fine; but when i double-click, it launches and closes right away without showing the window. any ideas where i should start looking to work on a fix? i've checked to make sure my variables are all used and that the path is correct to/from the file.

thanks!!

Cocoa# is not ready for production work.

And you are pretty much completely misunderstanding what it does. Cocoa# is not intended to make windows .net applications run on MacOS X, it is to create MacOS X Applications that use the Cocoa/Quartz interface, but use a mono/.net backend.

Right now there are two ways of getting Windows.forms running on MacOS X (which your project undoubtedly uses): X11 or Cairo... notice that generically Windows.forms is still very much in development (not really ready yet), and the Quartz front-end for Cairo just got fonts recently... (also not really ready).

And that does not take into consideration that you could be using ActiveX (not currently a part of the Mono project) or other un-implimented parts of *.Net in Mono.

And if you run your application from the command line it will probably tell you what parts you are missing.

sorry. i did not mean to misunderstand; i had just wanted to be able to work on and test school stuff at home. i have not added any ActiveX components, so that should not be a problem. i will look at trying to run it again, but through x11 this time and not through terminal. thanks and thank you for clarifying for me the use of Cocoa#, i thought i had read the docs right. :doh:
