So I ported all the network map code from vb.net to C# and restructured it so it can be used cross-platform. It’s not completly done yet but I managed to get initial rendering to work!

The basic idea now is that all the painting methods reside in NetworkMapCommon which is then inherited by a class that gets a System.Drawing.Graphics object (using control.CreateGraphics() in SWF, libgdi with Gtk#, etc.) and calls the base methods with it. This will allow for a network map on all platforms (Windows, Gtk, PocketPC) using the same code base.

As you can see pretty much all the colors are totally wrong in part due to an undocumented change in Gtk#, but I’m confident I’ll have that figured out soon.

I’m also having a strange yet unrelated problem with the XmlSerializer which is producing a technically different but visually identical xml string than the .NET Framework, causing signature verification to fail. Looks like I’ll have to write up a test case and figure out exactly what’s causing the problem.
