Mono Support

[aforty]

It's not pretty...

Two things that are incompatible with Mono:

• Mono does not implement HostingEnvironment.InClientBuildManager (and has no concept of a build mode afaik)
• Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.DynamicModuleHelper.DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule() does not work properly in Mono, for whatever reason

Both are worked around without changing the way the code runs when not on Mono (outside of a few extra conditions).

I didn't know you could do this. Does this work in .NET as well, or only Mono?

[aforty]

I did not check because I assumed it'd be safer to stick with what was there.

I peeked inside and it seems that DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule() then simply invokes System.Web.HttpApplication.RegisterModule(), another method not implemented in Mono.

I'm not sure what the base implementation in HttpApplication is but whatever it is, it currently works in .NET. Best to stick with that.

[davidebbo]

Yep, I was just curious. BTW, the reason I'm calling DynamicModuleUtility.RegisterModule() instead of HttpApplication.RegisterModule() is that the former existed in earlier versions of the framework (4.0 vs 4.5 I think), so it gives great compat.

[aforty]

Totally right, my problem was that I was attempting to compile in Mono so thus the reflection.

[davidebbo]

I see. Ok, I'll try to make that change on my end in the next couple days.

[davidebbo]

Oh, I just realized you did it already! I'll find the time to do basic verification and get that in soon. Thanks!

[davidebbo]

Ok, change is in, and pushed to NuGet as version 2.0.4. Thanks for your contribution!

Awesome, glad to have helped!
