Something Real
Well, I've received no comments on my blog yet. Obviously, the lack of pictures is the cause. In order to remedy that, I'm posting a screenshot of the COM Interop in mono doing something real. The mono runtime is launched through Visual Studio. It runs a simple C# program that creates an Excel application, displays it, and adds a workbook.Spent alot of time working on VARIANT marshalling. And this little attribute caused me major pain trying to get the Excel sample working.

Good job!
Hello, I see you are using Visual Studio to develop Mono applications.
How ???
Exists a guide ?
Regards, Federico (federico.giampietro@poste.it)
federico,
If you mean C# applications, anything you write should run on mono. I'm using Visual Studio to build/debug the mono runtime itself as I'm adding COM Interop support.
Sorry Jonathan,
I had misinterpreted the images.
I hoped was a way in order to develop mono applications with visual studio that has a powerful debugger and code designer.
I'm tryng to port on Linux a very complex application, but it is impossible using MonoDevelop.
Can you tell me if I can get a copy of Mono projec in Visual Studio format ?
I would be happy for studying of sources and also to give some help
great!!!
Is this a coordinated effort with what Zac Bowling is doing for XPCOM? His plan. Anyway, keep up the good work, it's much appreciated.

So is it possible to run RCW packaged COM's under linux ? Or would it be possible in future ?

Hi Jonathan,
did you see the OpenOffice.org UNO-.Net bridge
(managed C++) and the not-quite-finished-but-good-for-screenshots mono port of it (C# and C)?
It's also heavily based on remoting stuff like RealProxy, etc.
Hello Jonathan,
May you include the source code and command line arguments for mono mcs?.
I have tried this code:
using System;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
public class ExcelDemo {
public static void Main ()
{
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application app = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
Console.WriteLine("Version is {0}.", app.Version);
}
}
I have compiled it:
mcs exceldemo.cs -r:
But I have got a message box with "** ERROR **: Method 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass:.ctor()' in assembly '...\Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll contains native code and mono can't run it. The assembly was probably created by Managed C++".
Sorry. The command line is:
mcs exceldemo.cs -r:System.Office.Interop.Excel.dll
Mono version is 1.1.13.
Is there a beta version of your new software available anywhere? I looked on mono-project.com but could not find it.
Sorry, I've been away for a while. To answer some questions.
martin: I've seen that. My goal is to get COM Interop working on windows. Then, XPCOM Interop on supported platforms. Finally, other component technologies like Uno. Hopefully, I can put together some API for handling various unmanaged component technologies.
anonymous and Tom: my work has not yet made it into mono. I'm finishing my Master's thesis in March. After that, I should have alot more time to devote to this. There was a patch posted to the mono-devel list a while ago, that can give you an idea of what my status is.
Hi Jonathan,
This is another Jonathan Chambers. I run an English as a Second Language Department at Shanghai American School in China. We're much more end-users of data analysis apps, but it's always interesting to see what's happening in the development cycle.
I like the fact that you're progressively sharing your experience with coding.
Thanks.
OMG THAT IS TEH AWESOME!!1
