I want to start a project at home using Monorail (www.castleproject.org), on Windows Vista, but with SharpDevelop because I can't afford Visual Studio with all the stuff I need that #D gives you for free. The express versions don't cut it. So I need a cassini style web developer, but I can't get the ones suggested in the #D forums to work on Vista.

I can get ultra dev to work on Vista, I think (the screen comes up), but I'm trying to link it with #D so I can debug.

Has anyone got UltiDev Cassini working with #D who can share how they did this?

Hello, Adam.

If #D allows you to specify an application to run in order to debug your web app, then our Cassini should work for you. Here's command line parameters relevant to running UltiDev Cassini in command-line (non-service) mode:
Code:
UltiDevCassinWebServer2.exe /run <PhysicalAppFolder> [<defaultDocument>] [<port> | 0] [<browser path> | nobrowser]

Some additional information on how to use UltiDev Cassini for debugging purposes is here.

Alternatively, if #D let's you to attach debugger to a process, you could register your application with Cassini Explorer and attach debugger to the Cassini service process.

Please let us know if this has helped.

Best regards,
UltiDev Team.

Thanks, yes it worked how you described! I was able to specify the command-line as the application to run and it started debugging immediately.

Cheers,

Adam.

Super!

Adam, a small amendment to our previous post: please use "UltiDevCassinWebServer2.exe", not "UltiDevCassinWebServer2a.exe". It's no big deal for now, but next version may not have "UltiDevCassinWebServer2a.exe".

Thank you for using UltiDev Cassini!
As always, if you like the product, please link to it, blog about it, or just tell your friends.

Great, thanks. One thing I noticed that other people may or may not find useful: I had to pass in the location of the browser when running in Vista where I didn't have to when running in XP. i.e. from the command line :

Code:
"C:\Program Files\UltiDev\Cassini Web Server for ASP.NET 2.0\UltiDevCassinWebServer2.exe" /run "C:\Users\Adam\Documents\Projects\MyProject\MyProject.Web" index.html 0 "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"


This took me a little while to figure out so I thought I'd pass it on.

Keep up the good work!

Yep. Sounds about right. We have found this bug on Vista just days ago and reported it here. Moreover, it seems that only Firefox works even if explicitly specified. IE does not.

Thanks much for reporting this, Adam!
