Cross-platform

Sorry, at this time xdebugclient only works on Microsoft Windows. It may be possible to port XdebugClient to Mono fairly easily. Especially since the MonoDevelop project has a port of the Sharpdevelop text editor component used by XDebug but presently no work in this direction has been done.

XDebugClient makes fond use of:

1. The text editor component by the SharpDevelop team http://www.icsharpcode.net/

2. The Dockpanel Suite by Weifen Luo http://sourceforge.net/projects/dockpanelsuite/

3. The Advanced Treeview component by Andrey Gliznetsov http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/treeviewadv.asp
