I'll let you figure that one out.

If you want your app to run on multiple platforms you really need to think about it much earlier in the project.
SQL server does not run on Macs. If SQL is a requirement, you could consider running the server on a seperate windows PC, and the app on a mac. Or you could consider switching to one of the many other database products available that will run on a mac. This will most likely require some changes to your app though to work with the different database, although if you've only used fairly simple standard stuff, with any luck you won't have too much to change.
DBMS packages - operating system support[^]
(Popular ones are Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL)
Going right back, although mono does run .net apps, it certainly does not off complete support. There are large portions of the framework missing, so you may find that some features of .net that you have used don't work on mono. Again, if you want your app to be multi platform you need to design it that way from the beginning.

Well, if you're using a local SQL Server database, you'd be forced to run Windows in a virtual PC on the Mac. Install Windows and your application on the virtual machine and you should be all set to go.
You can try to use Mono, but AFAIK, it lacks SQL Server data provider support. Also, Mono is NOT a 100% replacement or implementation for Microsoft's .NET Framework, so there will be compatibility problems.
Mono is not an implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework. The .NET Framework is Microsoft's implementation of the ECMA-335 Common Language Infrastructure specification. Granted, Microsoft created the spec, so they have a decided advantage to it's implementation. Both Mono and Portable.NET are independant projects that implement the same specification, but all are free to add their respoective libraries to it to support specific platforms. Microsoft added thousands of namespaces and classes to support almost all flavors of Windows, while Mono supports Unix/Linux and Portable.NET is trying to bridge the gap between Windows and Linux.
And no, each implementation is not a 100% compatible replacment for another. You can not compile an app under the .NET Framework and expect it to run 100% under Mono or Portable.NET. Nor can you compile it under Mono or Portable.NET and expect it to work 100% under .NET.

ok i'll use virtual machine for that as my friend Dave says, i've seen this solution yesterday but i would like to find out other solutions
thanks so much for everyone

You cannot run SQL Server on a Mac. You'll need to have a Windows machine to run it, and you can connect your Mac to it over the network.

Take a look at the Mono Project, as already mentioned

This is mostly theoretical right now, but I am looking to see if this is possible:
I am working on a web application that I want to be able to make available as a back-end to other web applications, but want to allow the ability to accept posts without using a webservice.
Just as an example of what I am looking to do, I want to be able to take a regular HTML page with a submit control, and have the web application be able to accept, say, a string, and process that string. (something simple like save it to the database).
I am familiar with web services in ASP .Net and will be using them as well, but I am looking to allow this alternate method as well. I have been googling it, but haven had much luck so far because its hard to get search engines to not be so literal
I am aware of some Java web apps that do this, usually they process XML input.

WebRequest is the easy way.Web services is better, but a little harder to implement.
It depends on your application needs.

All aspx pages and ashx pages accept post data. What you will be doing, however, is writing duplicate code because it is the exact thing that web services provide for you.

Oh, I am absolutely aware that i will be duplicating my effort with this, it is just about providing options, as well as a healthy dose of preoffesional curiosity.
I appreciate both of you giving me actual answers too, as opposed to "just use web services" or "why dont you just use web services?".

Hi,
I have a chunk of C# calling an unmanaged C++ .DLL. One of these C# wrapper functions accepts a callback delegate, which is used inside the C++ .DLL.
All seems to work fine until I come to close the application, whereupon I get an error saying that I am trying to make a call via a callback delegate on an object which has been garbage collected.
Could anyone point me at a good article which explains how to stop this happening?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Best wishes, Patrick

Pass a null callback function.
Otherwise you will need to keep your object in memory for the life of the c++ dll?

Thanks for the reply.
I cannot pass a null callback function as i do need the functionality it offers.
However, the problem turned out to be that the actual instance of the callback being passed was going out of scope and thus being garbage collected. Making this static fixed the problem.
Best wishes, Patrick

Hello,
could someone give me a list of the files I need to copy to other PCs for
a distributable Windows application using Crystal Reports and C# 2.0
I am using Visual Studio 2005 (8.0.50727.762 (SP.050727-7600)) with the Crystal Reports version that came with it (AAC60-G0CSA4B-V7000AY) and .NET Framework 3.5 and cannot find any clear help on the web (or the Crystal site)
thanks

AFAIK, if you use "Bootstrapper" technology, VS automatically adds CR runtime packages to your deployment setup.
I would suggest search on this topic.

Use delegates. MDI form should subscribe delegates declared on the child forms. Child form can call that delegate when update in MDI form is required.

i want access active directory to check some user for authentication. Im using windows authentication for my project.
i can access the active directory and check the valid users in windows XP with this piece of code.
DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher();
search.Filter = String.Format("(SAMAccountName={0})", loginName);
search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("cn");
SearchResult result = search.FindOne();
if (result == null)
{
return false;
}
else
{
return true;
}

How do you call rollback from a custom action dll? (calling directly base.Rollback doesn't works, throwing InstallException is not OK because of the Unhandeld exception MessageBox)
