.Net application is getting closed

Hi,

I have a data entry application developed in .NET. It’s a windows forms application and it has got nearly 150 text box and combo box fields arranged in 3 tabs of a tabcontrol. Now I changed my OS to Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop version. And installed the same application using wine (used winetricks to install framework). I found it is getting stuck and even getting closed with out any confirmation while dataentry at times. Did I miss anything in the installation process? Or is it a bug in wine?

Thanks in advance,
Jijesh

You might want to try running it under Mono, and only if that fails
under Wine. (Testing it under Mono under Windows is probably a good
first step if it does not work)

For Mono issues, ask on their forums / mailing lists though...

If it works under Mono under Windows, try Mono under Linux. If it does
not work under Mono, MS .NET under Wine is your only option...

Start the application in a terminal session. You should first change
directories to where the application executable exists and run it from
there. Errors should appear on the terminal session advising of
problems encountered while running the application. Some will be
related to Wine and have warn:, fixme: and err: in front of them with
descriptive text after them. Most fixme entries can be safely ignored.
You may see a debugger dump at the same time as your program
terminates. This is very important and should be reported here as it
may explain why your program appears to be abnormally terminating. If
there is a great deal of text (>20 lines), I recommend posting it at the
pastebin.com site and then providing the URL here so interested parties
can look at it and to conserve bandwidth to other User list and forum
readers.

Thanks For your replies.

I tried the same application using mono. And i found it works really faster than in Wine. I mean a considerable amount performance improvement. But here also it is getting terminated in exceptions. But i am not getting any of the exceptions under windows conditions. Am not sure, it happens because of the exception handling in mono.

Thanks

It's possible that several functions inside the application are not implemented (fully) in Mono, or at some point Windows-specific code is called (like from Windows-only .NET libraries). The application would probably crash at that point.
