Does mono really implement the namespace System.AddIn.Hosting?


The following page shows that mono implements the System.AddIn.Hosting namespace.

mono api status

After not finding a System.AddIn.dll anywhere in mono I looked in mono source.

I've looked in mono, version 2.10.8.1 + mono 3.0.7, source code but have been unable to find it. I looked for "System.AddIn.Hosting" and type names like "AddInSecurityLevel", but found no matches.


Solution

  • It seems that the title in mono api status is misleading, What this page is showing is the differences between .net 4.0 + .net 4.5.

    This can be seen from here mono api status summary page

    So the Answer seems to be: No Mono does not implement System.AddIn.Hosting or any System.AddIn namespace.

    Update: An opensource implementation of System.Add that runs on Linux with mono can be found here.
