Mono compatibility using CodeFluent.Runtime.Client

Question

I runned a MoMa scan test on the CodeFluent.Runtime.Client assembly.

I got warnings about 138 P/Invokes calls, 10 NotImplementedException and 14 [MonoTodo] markers.

Does anyone know what kind of trouble I can encounter using this library across Mono for a crossplatform project ? Is there a way to precisly know the features I could use and which I could not ?

EDIT :

The P/Invoke calls, for the zip compression class I'm looking into, are done on :

CodeFluent.Runtime.Compression.x64.dll

CodeFluent.Runtime.Compression.x86.dll

CodeFluent.Runtime.Compression.dll

kernel32 (LoadLibrary() for x86 or x64 dlls)

Answer 1

CodeFluent.Runtime.Client.dll contains lots of useful classes. However some of them will only work on Windows :

• WindowsUtilities,
• Authenticode,
• RegistryUtilities,
• TemplateEngine as it uses Chakra (IE JavaScript engine),
• Country as it uses Windows's GeoCode,
• ZipFile as it uses a windows only native dll,
• Icon GetFromExtension as it uses Windows Shell,
• GetTokenElevationType

This list is not exhaustive but contains the main classes.

Answer 2

It seems that this library uses compression code contained in these native DLLs. Those DLLs are Windows only and so at the very least, that part of the library cannot work on Linux.
