  • Code coverage for open source .NET with AppVeyor and Coveralls

    Mar 19, 2016

    Code coverage is a useful metric of the quality of your code. It shows how much code is being covered by unit tests. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the unit tests are well written, but no metric can probably tell you that. However, aiming for a specific code coverage, let’s say 70%, is a good practice, because failing to meet the goal might mean somebody didn’t write enough unit tests.

  • Troubleshooting TypeLoadException in mono

    Mar 12, 2016

    I don’t do a lot of .NET programming these days. At work we deal mostly with JavaScript. However, C# is still the language I’m more fluent in and, also important, a language that I really like. That’s why sometimes I like to code a bit in C# at home. That can be either on Windows or on a Mac with Mono. The problem with Mono is that things can always be a bit different and require some extra effort.

  • View .NET assembly version on Ubuntu

    Aug 3, 2014

    When you want to view the assembly version of a .NET assembly in Windows, you just right click the DLL and view its properties. Or, you just hover the mouse over the file and the version number will be shown in the tooltip. In Linux, things aren’t as easy.

  • Compiling Mono and friends on Ubuntu, v2

    Jul 19, 2014

    This is an updated guide on how to compile mono from source on Ubuntu. This time, it’s about Ubuntu 14.04 (trusty tahr). This post covers:

  • log4net SmtpAppender on mono

    Feb 15, 2014

    I have some problems with the SmtpAppender of log4net on mono. I couldn’t figure out what was going wrong, it just wasn’t sending any e-mails.

  • MSBuild Community Tasks NUnit and Mono

    Nov 20, 2013

    As an experiment, I modified an NUnit test project to automatically test itself after the build process. This way, the unit tests become an integral part of the build; just by building in Visual Studio you’ll know if you’ve broken a unit test.

  • Compiling Mono and XSP on Ubuntu

    Oct 19, 2013

    For future reference, this is what you need to do in order to install Mono and XSP on Ubuntu Server 12.04.3 LTS x64. This is about a completely blank installation, where only the SSH server role was selected during the installation of the OS.

  • Mac and Mono

    Aug 25, 2012

    Some random steps on getting my Mac up to speed with Mono development.

  • How to use SQLite with Mono and Fluent NHibernate

    Jun 6, 2011

    So I have setup my project playing nice in Windows .NET 4.0 with SQLite and Fluent NHibernate. I opened it up from my Mac to see if it would still work and, big surprise, it didn’t. It complained about System.Data.SQLite.dll not found, even though the dll was there.

  • Playing with MonoMac

    Nov 7, 2010

    Yesterday I played a bit with MonoMac, a new framework for Mono that you can use in order to create .NET applications that have a native look and feel in Mac OS X. I have never done any Mac related development in the past so I had to read up on how Apple builts its UIs. My experiments made their way to ResxTranslator’s code base, so I intend that ResxTranslator will have three separate UIs: WinForms, GTK# and now Cocoa via MonoMac!
