Can you please post a Ubuntu-Mono friendly version?

why it is using .Net 4? I like to try to make my programs use .net 2 for greatest compatibility. You can use 3.0 for WPF

I don't know what version of .NET the computer came with so I installed 4.0. I believe that the computer I tested it on only has 3.5, but I am not sure.

He is probably using Visual Studio 2010 like me, its default configuration is to make .NET 4.0 applications, but there is an option during the Project Wizard on which .NET to use, as low as 2.0 or 1.0 I believe, but I forget .

although I applaud your open-sourceness, Mono has no (current) desire to implement WPF (http://mono-project.com/WPF), so you would have to do a lot of work

I am using Visual Studio 2008. I used beta Visual Studio 2010 when it was extremely slow and have no interest in returning until official release.

Thanks a lot. I choose to use Ubuntu because I do not want to have programs I make today compatible with computers that run in 40 years, m$ probably will not survive if Linux really takes off.

Don't turn this into a Microsoft v. Linux flamewar. It has nothing to do with the dashboard.

That was my first concern, making sure the 2010 Breakway Dashboard runs in year 2050 under Linux version 35.6. What?

Unless you have anything useful to say, go dump on Microsoft somewhere else. Remember that you're representing your team here to the entire FIRST community.

I am not trying to dump on microsoft, it is an unintended side effect. I would like to try to port this code to an open framework, such as GTK/Gstreamer. VLC would possibly be a good candidate for this too. If anyone can help me with porting this, can you please contact me? I dont mean to sound rude by saying those last few posts, but I do not use windows and dislike it b/c it crashes very often when i use it (my laptop crashed when i opened google with IE).

[slavik262]

This dashboard is written in C# and uses both the .NET framework and the WPF, all Windows technologies. Porting it wouldn't be far from rewriting it completely. If you'd like to write your own video dashboard, contact me or TheDominis and we'd be happy to explain how the video system works.
