I want to know whether .NET Application can run on any platform like Java or not?
A .NET application requires the .NET Framework in order to run. That means it is compatible with any platform that supports the .NET Framework, which basically means Windows. There is an open-source .NET clone for Linux called Mono. It isn't 100% compatible, but close. I've never used it so I don't know a great deal, like whether apps compiled using Visual Studio will run on it. There are also C# compilers for many paltforms apparently, although I'm not sure what they copile to. It may be that they produc native code for the target platform rather than MSIL.
But there are certain OS' to stay away from when trying to install the framework on. Like 95/98 or ME. From what I hear they are a bit troublesome but not impossible to install it to.
They're OSes to avoid anyway, aren't they? ;)
I think Windows ME is the worst OS ever! Give me DOS 6.22 anyday over Windows ME. :D
And I am not sure if the framework runs on Windows 95 at all
I can run my c# application on win98.
i think even M$ is trying to forget about WinME.Quote:

I thought I was going to be sick.
