I know its possible, but I cant find in inforamtion pertaining to the languages it supports in asp.net. nGallery is ASP.NET written in C# and works with mono. But Im curious if ASP.NET using VB works with mono as well. Anybody know?
 
I'm assuming it would since Mono does have a VB.net compiler (mbas). I haven't tried it myself though, I only use the C# compiler in Mono.

My life would be so much easier if I just had the time to learn C# :(

I wonder if the VB compiler actually works with XSP or apache_mono though.
 
just a rant but I really think that mono should stop trying to a create complete port of ms's bcl. They should just port the easy stuff (most system classes, system.io, system.net, some of system.web) and then create their own implementation of the harder stuff (goodbye system.windows.forms, hello system.unix.forms) I mean, .net 2.0 beta is already out. I know this would make some things non-cross platform compatible and that's probably their reason for doing it but sacrifices will have to be made :)
 
...there is a substantial amount of mono-specifc libraries that are part of the system. Granted, without trying to support the MSFT stuff, what's the real bennefit in a cross-platform VM?

I agree with ameoba... all of .net managed code can be implemented differently on any number of systems. If you stick to the regular framework it can truely be a multiplatform vm. There is no reason why you cant use the same windows.forms code in any OS and just have it call different libraries specific to that OS for similar results. Really its not rocket science here, MS already did all the work. All the alternative OS people need to do is make the os specific CLR. The code itself is so generic that I see no reason why it cant be effectivly implemented anywhere, I mean you dont call functions from specific dlls like with the regular Win32 API, you dont have to load include files as you do with C/C++, none of that stuff. You just load up a namespace and go about your business.
Theres no point of a cross platform VM if they start breaking off and making OS centric namespaces and what not.Kinda defeats the purpose dont you think?
 
Anyhow, we are getting off topic :)

Anybody know if ASP.NET using VB will work in the MONO implementation of ASP.NET?

:p Unfortunately I have myself in such a pickle work/time wise I dont have time to learn anything new. Its rather frustrating.
 
i know that one. i'm jammed up until at least April before i can really even take a weekend off, much less learn new languages. why can't people just pay us to learn stuff? ;D
