Solution 1

You can run .NET applications under Mono. But you may not be able to just take a compiled .NET exe that runs on Windows and expect it to run on Mono (although that was the original idea).

But unless you use any Windows specific stuff, you should be able to reuse most or all of your code, except that you need to make sure you test and debug under Mono/Linux too.

It is easier if you use Mono on Windows too, that way it becomes far easier to maintain it for both OSes.

Here's the link to Mono: http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page[^]

Mono is a .NET implementation that is cross platform. It's available for Windows as well as Linux, Mac OS, BSD etc. They even have an implementation for the iPhone. This link should tell you more: http://www.mono-project.com/What_is_Mono

Good link collection.

Yes, you have Mono (Novell) that provides Moonlight which is open source implementation of Silverlight. Nishant is right by the way that Mono is the open source .net implementation. Using Silver/Moonlight does not require a recompile and works well on both which is a great advantage.

Good luck!
