WML Sumo Thin Client User Guide
Custom .NET program
The Sumo provides the Mono execution environment to run .NET 1.1 program. See
www.go-
mono.com
for more details about Mono.
The Sumo provides both the Winforms library to run unmodified .NET 1.1 Windows programs, and
the GTK# library so that desktop programs can be run with the same look and feel as the Foundry
Linux Connection Manager.
Create a new connection in the Connection Manager and choose connection type “Custom .NET
program”.
Enter the connection name for the program, as it will appear in the Connection Manager.
The name
should match the title of the window which your program will create
. This is important, because the
Connection Manager will recognise and manage your program's window based on its name. If the
window doesn't match, the Sumo will be unable to switch from other connections to your program
using the Ctrl-Alt-Down key combination.
The next field is a drop down menu, which will contain programs stored in the home directory of
the Sumo user. If there is no program in this menu, then enter a URL to the program in the
“Download program from” field and press the “Download” button. If the program downloads
successfully, then it will appear in the “Program” drop down menu.
If you check “Download each time”, then before running the program, the Sumo will try to
download a fresh version of the program from the specified URL.
“Available disk space” tells you how much local storage is available to store the .NET program.
