Windows.Forms library contain many bugs which effectively prevent applications from working. WinForms Designer is unable to put WebBrowser control on form. NotifyIcon class doesn't work under LXDE (see the bugtracker of KeePass). Clipboard class is incompatible with default manager of Calculate Linux. Drag and Drop have problems in DockPanelSuite. WinForms Designer is not finished because of opacity problems. WPF was never implemented and no plans to do it.
And mono team says "we don't want to develop WinForms, because this is old technology."
How should one port desktop C# application from Windows to Linux? Rewriting it with Gtk# seems to be too hard...
What is easier - to fix mono WinForms, to implement WPF, or to rewrite all applications in the world to Gtk# ?
Portability refers to how easily- if at all- code can move from one system architecture to another. We know that Linux is a portable because it has already been ported to various implementations. To view which implementations Linux has ported to, type in the following command. vim /usr/src/kernels/2.6.43.8-1. fc15.
Port C is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with individually selectable internal pull-up resistors. The PORT C output buffers can sink 20mA and thus drive LED displays directly. Configuring Port C for input or output. Port C has the alternate functions as shown below.
PORTC is composed of pin labelled RC0 to RC7. PORTD is composed of pins labelled RD0 to RD7. PORTE is composed of pins labelled RE0 to RE3. When running a program on a microcontroller that uses inputs and outputs, the port(s) being used must be set in code.
8051 microcontrollers have 4 I/O ports each of 8-bit, which can be configured as input or output. Hence, total 32 input/output pins allow the microcontroller to be connected with the peripheral devices. Pin configuration, i.e. the pin can be configured as 1 for input and 0 for output as per the logic state.
As you have already found out Mono WinForms implementation is suitable only for very simple applications. Take a look at "Cross-Platform Desktop UIs" blog post from Xamarin employee Mike James who summarizes available solutions:
BTW I am currently using WinForms for Pkcs11Admin application but I plan to use traditional approach as soon as I hit a blocker bug on any of the supported platforms.
