    well using wine you could run almost any windows program on linux i believe. For this .Net stuff I believe it has something to do with the pdb file or whatever it is that is created when you compile you applicaiton.

    hmm so you have to have the pdb and the exe together for a linux user to be able to run it? (not using wine) or just the pdb? or you need the whole code?

    I don't believe its the PDB

    I think thats for debugging. I've deleted it before and got it to run under windows. Mono should run the exe, but you need to do some weird stuff to get Windows.Forms and Drawing to work, which aren't fulley implemented. MS also released a .NET Framework for Linux. I don't think either will get your Drawing and Forms to work 100%

    yes, a .NET exe can be compiled and run on linux using mono... there is one catch however... like was mentioned before, mono doesn't natively support the Windows.Forms namespaces.... There are some implementations out there for them, GTK# for gnome seems to be the most popular... Even then, you may not be able to use everything from the namespaces...

    but, if you want a simple test, create a console application... compile it on your windows machine, and then try running it under mono on your linux machine. it works! this works simply because the exe is only in MSIL code, not a normal win32 binary...

    so, in short, yes, you can compile on windows and run on linux...
