Is there a way to write native C# applications?
I used to write a lot of native applications, but we used Borland to do it.
These days, I work for a different company that fully embraces Microsoft, so
it isn't really an issue any more.
Now that I'm getting pretty good at C#, I am left wondering if all of my
skills are tied to Microsoft or if I can use Visual Studio (and maybe C#) to
create apps for non-Windows (UNIX, microprocessors , MAC, whatever).

There is Mono an open source development of C# and .Net on Linux. It is
pretty young but it is available and it is possible to build applications
in it. TomBoy is a Wiki like personal tool written this way.

Even if you can write "native" appls. you will create them FOR
WINDOWS, they might not run in others OSs.
In the other hand , if your application is managed it can potentially
run in ANY OS that has a managed environment. Right now you have Mono
that runs on unix, and apple IIRC.

There's the Mono C# compiler which you can use on Linux: http://www.mono-project.com/CSharp_Compiler
For microprocessors , you have the .Net Microframework, which you can
program in C# from within Visual Studio: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/embedded/bb267253.aspx
Hello!
As far as I know it's only MS that support the MSIL code but there might
be more OS that will support it the future.

I've tested the latest release of Mono on Mac OS X and Linux and was
quite suprised to find it able to run my VS.NET compiled
Assemblies.... Since they added WinForms support the possibilities
have expanded, but there are still quite a few potential road blocks
(e.g. I had several exceptions generated on Mono that did not occur on
Microsoft's .NET CLR). If you were to start a new project and include
Mono builds in all your unit testing you should be fine. It really has
evolved.
One area of concern with Mono is that it's based on Microsoft's
published .NET standards for CLI with the inclusion of WinForms
support the Mono project is probably in violation of Microsoft
patents, but the company sponsoring Mono (Novell) appears to be on
good terms with Microsoft...

There is support for native applications by using C++ or a mix of C++ and
Managed C++. For multi platform support have a look at Mono (and xbuild http://www.mono-project.com/Microsoft.Build).
There's also support for arm processors by using the Compact Framework for
Windows CE devices (also native support by using C++), an little more than
a year back, Microsoft has introduced the .NET Microframework which allows
you to program microchips and true embedded devices.
Appart from that, there are a number of add-ins for visual studio which allow
tou to develop in other languages like perl and tcl (ActiveState), php (jcx
software), Cobol (adtools) and Java J2ee (mainsoft).

If "native" here means something opposite to "managed" (i.e. running
in a VM), then no. A C# compiler generating native code is possible in
theory, but it would still require a GC at least, and libraries such
as System.Reflecti on.Emit require some form of bytecode interpreter or
JIT, which would effectively amount to a VM in the end. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I am trying to wrap a native-C++ DLL in managed C++, to
use in a .NET project.
The native code is compiled into a DLL, and I have created
a .def file that exports the mangled names of the symbols
I am going to use from the wrapper library.
The wrapper library has the code written that uses the
native classes, and wraps them to present an equivalent of
their interface for .NET.

When I build my asp.net application the ASP.NET generates a net.assembly by

Theese assemblies to be executed must be tranlated to native code, the
question is: Which is the time of live of the native assemblies? It is
possible to configure the time? Are they storaged in some directory in my

I have a class that is writen in unmanaged pure native C++.
This class files (h and cpp) are inserted to a managed C++ (VC++ 2005,
C++/CLI) DLL compoenet.
This DLL compoenet is used in a C# application.
My question is:
Does the performance of the unmanaged pure native C++ class described above
is the same if it was a in a pure unmanaged native C++ DLL component?

We have a native class modeled after the System::Exception class, and all

that this is possible using something like dbghelp.dll, but I've never had
