Is there a library that can manipulate ext4 partitions with all the features that it provides for C#?
The other questions that asks about that everyone says that you should mount the partition with a program like Ext2Fsd and operate it with the default IO File library. The problem is that with this method I still have the Full path name limitation of 255 characters, because the Windows IO library isn't expecting to write partitions that allows more than that.
The ext2fs library which is shipped as part of e2fsprogs has Windows support, but it's probably extremely bitrotted at this point. Alas, lib/ext2fs/ntfs_io.c hasn't been updated in a long time, and lib/ext2fs/getsize.c only understands how to get 32-bit device sizes from Windows (at the time when the Windows code was last actively maintained, we didn't have ext4's 64-bit block number support yet). And of course, there is almost certainly some Linuxisms that haven't been properly #ifdef'ed out.
That being said, e2fsprogs is supported on MacOS X and FreeBSD, in addition to having some very old Windows NT support code, so it is designed to be portable, and it is most certainly not Linux/glibc specific. For that matter, it will even build on Android systems with the bionic libc! :-)
If you want to try your hand at trying to modernizing e2fsprogs and/or just libext2fs for modern Windows systems, please feel free to give it a try and send me patches; I'm happy to review and integrate them. Please use Linux kernel submission guidelines (not github pull requests, since they can't be reviewed effectively). The git tree can be found here: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git

Last day in job I got pretty hard task. My task is to make new theme for our project (website). New theme should be rewritten to be fully responsive (actually it isn't). I have decided to use Bootstrap framework, because it is seems to be pretty nice, easy to learn and have good documentation with examples.
Today after reading most of documentation I tried to implement this. The only problem is that I tried to use it's main Less based version (which seems to have better support, cuz is main) to get better customizable themes (each theme can have it's own variables.less file) and I did not found good Less parser that work with .net MVC3.
Using JS to parse Bootstrap in not an option, because some of our customers have pretty old computers (Windows XP + IE8). I have tried to use dotless as a parser, but it had problems to handle Bootstrap, had problems with relative paths (problem with #include instruction) and was unable to load files from different directories (variables.less is in theme directory when rest of Bootstrap is shared).
If anyone can help me I will be very grateful, cuz today I spent ~8h and did totaly nothing.
You could try http://vswebessentials.com/
This nice Visual Studio plugin support LESS out of the box.

I am thinking about writing a program and distributing it through the Mac App Store. The Mono Project has a library called MonoMac that assists in interfacing native Mac libraries such as Cocoa, etc. Assuming I go through with this, I would need to distribute Mono with the program. The process has been streamlined quite nicely and the instructions can be found here. Unfortunately I seen nothing concerning licensing on this page. Any ideas where I can find more information?
You can contact Xamarin here and check with them whether you need a commercial license.
Take a look at this.
IANAL, but AFAIU you would be linking against LGPL libraries. So you can use a proprietary product with them fine, so long you provide to the user of your apps any modification that you did to the LGPL code that you used. (MonoMac is Apache/MIT so no problem there either.)
The only problem you would have is if you link to GPL libraries and you don't want to make your app GPL as well (the only ones licensed as GPL are the Mono tools... not sure if mkbundle is one of them but if you just use it to generate your executable, and you don't link to it in any way afterwards, I guess you're fine.)
Anyway, better to do as Strillo says, just in case.

I was recently sent this link to Statsd which would be an interesting tool for us to monitor various aspects of our product, but it would be a hard-sell for us because of the PHP and non-Windows toolset. (This question asks about installing this on Windows, without an answer...)
Can anyone recommend Windows / .Net toolsets that might provide similar low-overhead monitoring of systems? Within reason, paying for a toolset should not be a problem.
I did find this microsoft page that looks quite interesting, but let's be honest, it does not have as many cool graphs that show the kind of thing that would be nice to have as an end-result :)
Your experiences and thoughts on direction would be appreciated: I think our ultimate goal would be 'wall-boards' e.g. large screens cycling through several key graphs or views so the whole team could understand and monitor some key metrics of the products we are supporting. Our client uses SQL Server Reporting Services for this, but their reports seem to be mostly statistical and very little graphical.
I've ported Graphite to Windows. It was pretty easy to do this. I've issued a pull request to the main project. I hope it will get merged. Until then, you find the fork under:
https://github.com/stephanstapel/carbon
Graphite installation requires some additional steps I published here:
http://www.s2-industries.com/wordpress/2012/12/running-graphite-on-windows/
Why not run Graphite in a Linux VM on top of a windows server? You get the full support of the graphite community, while being completely hosted on windows.
If you were wanting to replicate statsd, I would create a Windows service listening via UDP on a specific port. With a fairly open database schema, you could mimic its low-friction fluidity. That would take care of statsd and Carbon, the data collector piece of Graphite. You would then need to write a management tool that analyzes and presents the data in place of Graphite.
I would, for this reason, encourage you to just take the Linux route. Otherwise, you'd be fighting every battle the developers of those tools fought all over again.

Is there an implementation of the fix protocol running under mono (either free or commercial) ?
I found the following ones, but none indicates if the code it's mono compatible :
QuickFix
VersaFix
Onixs
B2Bits
RA-Cheetah
I tried the 2 open sources solutions :
QuickFix doesn't work on Mono because the .net bindings are developed in C++/CLI, which is not supported by Mono.
VersaFix however does run under mono without any changes, and its performances are quite similar under both platforms.
One possible solution: http://www.fixprotocol.org/discuss/read/adec4479
Other than this, there is nothing specifically designed that I know of, but it does look like each of the engines you mentioned does have a separate forum or mailing list you could try.
I can tell you that the way QuickFix is designed can be a real pain due to the way is uses identical classes in separate namespaces for each version of FIX.
Sorry dont have a better answer, good luck.
I suggest using the MoMA tool provided by http://www.mono-project.com/MoMA. I took the first one you specified "QuickFix" and downloaded the Binary version and scanned it with MoMA. The result was 273 Method calls that are not implemented.
It may sound like a lot but just like compiler errors, you fix a couple of things and the number goes down fast, also you have good odds that the parts you need will be fine and with the source for QuickFix available you may be able modify the code as needed or just throw some try{...}catch wrappers around those problem functions that you do need to use.
Of course you can try the same thing on the other available products, I just tried the first one. I believe MoMA will also work on obfuscated code, so you could test it on trial versions too.
I'm looking into Quickfix/N, which claims to be an open-source native .Net port of Quickfix, without native C++ bindings. In fact the API looks very similar to Quickfix/J (The java port). I will update this post if I find it not to be Mono-compatible.

My application is preparing a cover-sheet for submitting documents by fax. I identify the batch by printing a Code39 on it.
The incoming faxes are received as tif files and my small c# service is polling for new faxes and calling a decoding function.
Currently I use a Win32 dll to recognize the barcode (QSbar39) and I am facing some problems with it - timeouts, hangs, errors etc. which are painful to handle.
I'd prefer the have some free .Net component or an open source class to integrate.
Whould you take a different approach? What tool do you use?
Many thanks for your answers!
BarBara is an open source barcode recognition library. It certainly isn't perfect, but I have gotten it to work (if I remember it needed some twiddling to get it to compile in VS2008) pretty well.
I've used this java libarary with good results, and have gotten it to compile in .Net with minimal effort. It's been around for a while and works pretty well. It had some minor issues with EAN codes, but that has probably been resolved now.
http://barbecue.sourceforge.net/
I'm not sure there is anything available free or open source, but VintaSoftBarcode.NET Library is pretty cheap and did the job for me on a recent project.
