In my experience it's not obvious that any .net app will automatically also work on mono.

You're quite right. I haven't tried it in Mono, but from my limited experience where you get into trouble with that transition is if you're doing "unusual" things. My code is doing pretty basic stuff.

I'm not familiar with Delphi...what's a "popup command menu"?

It's the Silk icon set, which is pretty Tango-like.

Today was a project-tree day. You can now create, delete, reorganize (to drag and drop), and rename project files. I've got some odds-and-ends to finish there, and a few file type handlers to write (configuration file handler, image viewer, etc.). And I need to hook up the controls for bookmarking, search, undo and redo. How soon I get done will depend greatly on how busy my other products keep me.

You don't need to do crazy stuff to break Mono. You can, for example, use ScintillaNet for the editor component and that won't run unless someone ports it... It shouldn't be all that hard, considering SciTe already runs on a myriad of platforms.

look this screen:

Oh wow.. I can't wait to test this. Keep up the good work dude.

I would recommend you make sure it works on mono in the beginning, when there is not yet a lot of code that would need changing to make it work.

If you wait until you have a ton of code getting to work on mono can be a chore - it's not like java where the standard way of programming will get you (mostly) platform independent code.

You *often* need to tweak your .net code to make it run on mono, I think you overestimate it's capability by quite a bit.

Unfortunately I only have a Windows box right now, so I don't have an environment to do this is Mono. I plan to put this up on Google Code as of the first release...anybody that wants to volunteer can Mono-ize it then (or branch/fork as desired).

I did just now run the project through MoMA (Mono Migration Analyzer). It did spot some potential issues with the SyntaxBoxControl library I'm using for syntax highlighting, but the rest of the code came through clean. A true Mono project might want to go for a Scintilla control instead, but I've personally had much better luck with SyntaxBox.

I would recommend installing ubuntu on VMware/VirtualBox - both the vm and the os are free.

I normally test my linux developed programs on windows using a windows install inside a virtual machine.

-Ido.

EDIT: yeah, not to mention mono works on windows

It looks like MonoDevelop does not work on Windows...is this incorrect?

Go here and click the windows icon.

That should give you all that you need to run/compile MonoDevelop on windows.
