Run Innovator Under Mono
I'm going to run Innovator under mono on Linux server. I just want to know if this is possible. Also I'd like to compare performance.
Mono is an open source project. You may find details at http://www.mono-project.com/.
I decided to start with Windows platform. When I can run Innovator under mono on Windows I'll switch to Linux. For now I downloaded Mono-1.2.3.1 and tried to run Innovator under that. However - no luck. The downloaded mono version fails to run ASPX pages written in VB.Net. The reason of the error is simple.
Auto-generated code for aspx page contains
Private Sub __BuildControlTree(ByVal __ctrl As index_aspx)
Me.InitializeCulture()
__ctrl.SetRenderMethodDelegate(AddressOf Me.__RenderTree)
End Sub
But that should be
Private Sub __BuildControlTree(ByVal __ctrl As index_aspx)
Me.InitializeCulture()
__ctrl.SetRenderMethodDelegate(New RenderMethod(AddressOf Me.__RenderTree))
End Sub
The result is the code cannot be compiled and thus vb pages cannot produce any output.
I found the bug reported in BugZilla at http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=81049.
Let's wait for a next release of mono and try again :)
I can fix the error myself, but I'd like to get more or less easy procedure of running Innovator under mono.
