Windows kernel32 functions in Mono on Linux
c#, mono, winapi
Solution
You'll need to rewrite the functionality of those functions in native .NET to use them on Mono/Linux (unless you can convince Mono and Wine to play nicely).
If the INI files are controlled, then you may get away with simple file/string manipulation, but then you may be better off moving to something a bit more cross platform anyway.
Problem
I got this awesomely simple ini class that I downloaded from somewhere a while ago, but now that I'm using mono I'm running into the issue that it's importing stuff from kernel32 ``` [DllImport("kernel32")] private static extern long WritePrivateProfileString(string section, string key, string val, string filePath); [DllImport("kernel32")] private static extern int GetPrivateProfileString(string section, string key, string def, StringBuilder retVal, int size, string filePath); ``` Which on mono (in linux) gives the error `DLLNotFoundException: kernel32` Is there any way to get this to work with mono? Maybe embed the whole thing into the assembly at compile time (if that even makes sense at all, I wouldn't know). Or will I have to create/find an ini class that doesn't use WinAPI? (Nini springs to mind). I'd really like it if WinAPI stuff could work with Mono, any thoughts?
