Mono on IBM i Code Samples
This repository will be used to publish .Net and IBM i code samples related to running .Net on IBM i.
Feel free to contribute your own .Net samples and I will publish them here.
Mono on i
You will first need to have the Mono on i environment installed on your IBM i.
Mono for IBM i binary save file distribution can be downloaded from here:
https://gith***ub.com/MonoOni/binarydist
Mono on i Library
If you want to easily call .Net applications on IBM i and integrate into standard job streams such as CL or RPG, download and install this library on your IBM i as well.

If you don\’t install the MONOI library you will need to call your .Net applications from a PASE QP2TERM command line for testing. The MONO command makes things much easier.
Sample Program ReadMe Files
MonoHelloWorld – Sample template for Mono .Net console apps

MonoNancyDataService – This is a sample JSON based IBM i data microService service based on the C# NancyFx framework. This is a great way to make IBM i data and programs available to other web or mobile apps. Service can run in Windows or Native on IBM i. Can be front-ended for SSL with NGINX.

Installing Samples in IFS Using Git
You can download the zip file from github and unzip the Visual Studio projects or install them in the IFS by using the following git command sequences to clone the repository.
From an IBM i 5250 session, start QShell or PASE command line terminal:STRQSH or CALL QP2TERM
Change to the root folder. For this example we will be cloning code to /MonoOniSamples IFS directory from the root directory:cd /
Call the following command line to clone the repository to /MonoOniSamples foldergit -c http.sslVerify=false clone --recurse-submodules https://git*hu*b.com*/richardschoen/MonoOniSamples.git
If all ran successfully you should have a new folder named /MonoOniSamples available on your IFS.
