BoincSpy V3.1.0

BOINCSpy is a program to view  BOINC client information. I primarily wrote it to learn C#

 Prerequisites for Windows Platforms:

Before using BoincSpy utilities you MUST have Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0  installed:

•  Microsoft .NET Framework 4 redistributable package

If you are planning to use SQLite on a windows platform, install the appropriate VC 2010 Redistribution package.

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)

Prerequisites for Mono Platforms:

For this release you need mono 2.10 or greater. This supports version .net 4.0 profile.

You can find most of the mono implementations on:

• http://www.go-mono.com/mono-downloads/download.html

For Fedora implementations you will need to build from source, instructions can be found here:

Notes:

• Has been tested on Windows XP . Windows 2003 and 2008 (R2), Windows 7, Windows Vista, Vista Service Pack 1 and 2.
• To view the BOINC user's page you must have logged in with the Remember account key on this computer option clicked.
• Read the readme.txt  or release notes URL ( below ) for late breaking news and installation instructions.

Issues:

• BoincSpy viewer will display the recorded date in English even though the language is set to something other than English.
• Windows 98 / Windows 95 / Windows ME no longer officially supported.
• English causes the elapsed_time and cpu_usage fields in the database to have incorrect values.
• Queue Forms Scroll bars disappear if the control is viewed for a long period of time (.NET issue?)
• Sqllite on mono platforms is supported for 32 versions of mono.
