Hi Stuart,
Thanks for all the advice, but my problem is far more complex
and may be it will not work.
First I have ported System.Web to Android/IOS/WP7 which means
copying/modifying not just classes for System.Web from Mono but also
from corlib, system, system.core, system.drawing,
system.web.abstractions, system.web.routing to make it work (Since the
Monodroid/Monotouch has many missing classes which are required to
port System.Web). I was even able to compile this in WP7.5, but
because of broken socket implementation it is not useful.
The reason why I had to do the above was I want to build a cross
platform micro web server running in Mono-Droid/Mono Touch for one of
my JQuery Mobile projects.
The current problem I have are I am not able to compile my
android project (which has dependency on Mono for Androids/MonoTouch
(mscorlib, System & System.Core dlls only) as a Portable Project. I
have choosen the Target Frameworks as .NET 4.0 and Silverlight 5.0,
but still hit error that socket is not available. I have tried all
sort of combination of Target Framework, but still have the same 7
errors (socket type or namespace could not be found)
If I understand correctly what you have accomplished is making
it runnable in MonoDroid by using TypeForwarderTo, what problem I am
facing is that I cannot even compile the portable project because of
something.
When I created a MonoDroid Library Project using your
Forwarder.cs, I was not able to reference that project in my Portable
Project. When I create a Portable Project using your Forwarder.cs I
was not able to compile.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Sridharan Srinivasan
