[Mono-dev] Windows.forms and webbrowser on Linux?

[agostinhomt]

Hi!

I have a question for Mono team developers.

I made a simple project just for use webbrowser component on Mono 1.2.4.
I used Sharpdevelop to access Windows.Forms components and the webbrowser.
On Windows it works great.

When I port to Ubuntu (Linux) with mono 1.2.4_4 and run on the terminal the project it gives this message:

-----------------
** (sample1.exe:6214): WARNING **: The class System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser could not be loaded, used in System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser' from assembly 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'
-----------------


Is it possible to use webBrowser component on Linux with windows.forms? If not, why?
Is it planed to implement webBrowser on Linux in the near future?

Thanks

Sorry my English

You were probably using MS.NET on windows, if it was working for you,
as the control on Mono is not available yet. The WebBrowser control is
currently being worked on currently, hopefully it will not be long
before we have it working on Mono.
