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,...

I think the closest you can get to a cross-platform code base is using MonoTouch which allows you to use .Net as your framework. The only problem with MonoTouch is that Mono (the basis for MonoTouch) is at an unknown level of compatibility for various versions of .Net.
18 Apr 2011 by Nish Nishant
For WP7 you have to use SL/.NET. The closest for Android would be Mono although I don't know how stable or complete that is. iPhone has a Mono Touch too (again, no idea how good or stable this is).My suggestion would be to not try and write all 3 clients in the same framework. Instead keep...

Windows services do not run in a session which has access to a terminal (desktop). That is to say no screen or keyboard (logical or physical) is attached. So bottom line is you cannot do this from a service. And, to be honest, that is just as well as such a feature would open a huge security...
