Hi, Ron

You will need to take that up with whoever implemented the .NET Framework
on Linux. To the best of my knowledge, Microsoft does not support .NET
apps running on Linux. You would do better to pursue this in a Linux
newsgroup. The are more likely to be able to respond authoritatively.

Thank you for choosing the MSDN Managed Newsgroups,

| X-Tomcat-NG: microsoft.public.dotnet.framework
|
| I have both a Windows Form application and a ASP.NET web-based application
| built with .NET Framework 1.1 that a client wants to run on a Linux box.
|
| I have searched the net and MSDN but cannot determine if the applications
| can or will run on a Linux box. Searching for Linux on the Microsoft site
| only return "comparisons" between developing with .NET vs Java/Linux; not
if
| you can install/run a .NET application on a Linux box as far as I can
find.
|
| I have found the Mono site and it indicates that it is an open source
| development platform based on the .NET Framework that allows you to build
| Linux apps.
|
| However, the question is this: If I build the apps in VS.NET, can they be
| installed on a Linux box and, more importantly, will they run? Would I
need
| to install Mono on the Linux box?
|
| If it is necessary to re-compile the apps developed with VS.NET, will Mono
| require that the source code be all in C# -- the Mono site indicates that
| Windows Forms and VB.NET functionality are still under heavy development.
|
| Does anyone have any experiences (good or bad) related to such an
| application deployment for either Windows forms apps (is this even
| possible?) or web apps?
|
| Our shop is all Windows (when cut, we bleed little tiny Windows logos) so
we
| have no experience with Linux whatsoever so any advice, suggestions, etc
| would be greatly appreciated.
