hi guys,
i'm working on this 10 week project and i have everything in vb.net 2008 which works off of the .net 3.5 framework...
then today i got the notice that this program needs to work on Mac leopard...
i think i need to use mono however i have no idea what i'm doing and i've never ported to a mac before...
the project is due at the end of the week...
i'm willing to pull all nighters to get this thing done...
Help!!!
Thanks in advance,
Euka
Well you can look in to the mono Cocoa# toolkit. I don't believe that mono supports version 3 of the .NET Framework though so you may need to re-think things a little.
Honestly, I think you're going to have to ask them for more time. You probably should have asked for which platform you were developing before you started though.
i have researched the Cocoa# tool...
i need another solution
Well then you need to re-write your project in a different language. Mono isn't going to work.
what would you recommend?
and
can it be done in a week?
p.s. Thanks for all of you help with this problem so far
There's no way that I can answer your second question. It all depends on how proficient you are in the language you end up going with, and how big the project is.
I've never developed for OS X. Take a look around developer.apple.com. They have a Getting Started guide.
Try loading your app in framework 2.0 instead (you may have to modify it a bit). Than save it as a separate project. That 2.0 version will have a much better chance of being Mono-friendly.
one thing ( and they may have fixed it) is that the current version of mono does not work with Textboxes
this derailed one of my projects earlier
i think a new version is due out in September.
