Thread: An Open Source, Fast and Modular, C# Front End

is there any line diagram of the layers / functions?

when I used to design databases, I'd spend a lot of time designing, because changing after you create it is a pain. I think this is where RR is right now, waaay too many things one on top of the other.

I really like your project, although I look at the few screenshots and it seems the interface is not flowing and/or intuitive? things like having "exit" under "home" and those huge wifi and bluetooth buttons?

I'll install it to play a little and give comments.

I installed mono on leopard tonight, and yes your correct in x11 comes with osx already. I was initially getting 8 compile errors, but i just had to point to the OpenMobile.Framework.dll/System.Windows.Forms.dll and System.drawing.dll. Now i am getting 2 compile errors and looks like it doesn't reconize a couple objects which were created in core.cs.

--------
blair-cotnams-macpro31:OpenMobile blaircotnam$ gmcs Core.cs /r:OpenMobile.Framework.dll /r:System.Windows.Forms.dll /r:System.Drawing.dll
Core.cs(16,23): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `UI' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
Core.cs(18,23): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `PluginHost' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
Compilation failed: 2 error(s), 0 warnings
-----------
I am sure there is probably another parameter i have to pass or something or maybe i'm doing it wrong. I mean this is the first time working with mono..

EDIT: It was late last night when i was trying and the problem most likely has to do with me not compiling the other classes (UI.cs/PluginHost.cs) etc.. doop.. I guess to compile all the files i would just use the following: gmcs *.cs /r: 'then add my references.. I will try again tonight and hopefully it will work..'

Cheers,
Blair

Ok, finally i got it working. The screenshot is below. After i came home today i had no problem compiling the program. I did however have problems running the application using mono, it kept telling me the directory 'Plugins' is not found.

----
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Directory '/Users/blaircotnam/Desktop/OpenMobile/OpenMobile\Plugins\' not found.
----
I had to go into core.cs and under LoadMainMenu() i had to change '\' to '/' in the first line for the plugin path, otherwise it would never find the plugin directory. Anyways, maybe its something i'm doing, but though i would mention it.

nice work in here.

I got this error when trying to open the solution file:

Error while trying to load the project '/home/phil/Projects/FrontEnd/MainMenu/MainMenu.csproj': could not find a part of the path "/home/phil/Projects/FrontEnd/MainMenu/MainMenu.csproj"


There are no files in those folders, but I downloaded the most recent files from sourceforge in the tarball?

any thoughts?
