I need to write a Windows application with GUI, that should be able to
run also on Linux. I have already a .NET application (written in C#)
that uses (among others) Windows.Forms, ADO.NET, and TCP/IP (sockets).
Which is the best way to get it running under Linux ?
I read about Mono, would this be a reliable way ? Is Mono already
"production-ready", or still beta ? Are the .NET parts that I mentioned
above already completely implemented in Mono ? Does anyone has some
practical experience about this ?
On the other hand, I read also about the Qt graphical package, that is
available for Windows and also for Linux. If I choose this way, it would
mean that I have to rewrite my actual Windows application. I would take
this in account, if this would be the most reliable solution. Is Qt also
available for C#, or only for C/C++ ?
Can somebody help me with some advice ? Which way would be better
supported in the future ? Which way would allow easier software
development/test on both platforms ?
I mention that I dont have practical experience with Linux.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I got the same question about a C++ program written in MSVC. I've looked in
google and there seems to be a sort of windows api written for linux by
microsoft. But I don't know if that works for the .NET applications.
Hi ,
If you need a good, stable interoperatibil ity between win & *nix you better
go the web way, that is the best way.
there is no managed interface of Qt AFAIK at least.

Status of ADO.NET in Mono: http://www.mono-project.com/ADO.NET
Status of Windows.Forms in Mono: http://www.mono-project.com/Windows_Forms
and this will get you to the class library with a status on each class: http://www.go-mono.com/docs/
Neither of these 3 is feature complete, but depending on what classes and
methods you use, you'll be fine. It is production ready, as long as you
don't use any class that's not ready yet.

Qt is native code, not managed. Using QT3 you'd have a stable and trusted
class library, but I'm not sure about IDEs that support it on Windows
(there's bound to be a bunch for Linux).
Personally I find the prospect of running C# on Linux intrigueing and with
Novell behind Mono I'd expect that the platform has a good future, but at
this moment, you cannot rely on every of your used classes to be 100%
complete in Mono.

Mono is not ready maybe for future, use the web way i agree that its the
best way. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I'm not a professional programmer, but I've been writing C/C++ and Ada

I just read couple articles on this group and it keeps amazing me how
the portability is used as strong argument for language cleanliness.
In my opinion, porting the program (so you just take the source code and
recompile) is a myth started 20-30 years ago when world consisted of
UNIX systems. Well, world does not consist of UNIX systems anymore, but
there are 100s of different systems running in cell-phones, DVD players,

Or for that matter any version of .NET framework?
What I find ironic is the push for "portability and flexibility" yet I don't
actually see it in the real world. Is anyone (not just Microsoft) actually
working on a .NET framework for anything other than Windows platforms? If
so, where can I get it and/or when will it be available?

In this group there is a bunch of people that call themselves 'regulars'
that insist in something called "portability".
Portability for them means the least common denominator.
Write your code so that it will compile in all old and broken
compilers, preferably in such a fashion that it can be moved with no
effort from the embedded system in the coffe machine to the 64 bit
processor in your desktop.
