how to deploy vb.net windows apploication in linux platform? is there any procdure ... please give in detail.............

can't give specific details but I do know that you'll need to install a Windows Emulator on the Linux system... I hear WINE works pretty good. Once you have that up and running, then it's a simple matter of installing the application as normal.

Hey,

The other option would be to use Mono:

Think of it as the .Net Framework for Linux and Mac. You would need it installed on each machine you want to run your application on.

Hey,

I don't see any need for getting angry. We are only trying to help!

Short answer is, it depends. If you want to go down the Mono route, you have to make sure that you are not using any classes from the .Net Framework, that are not implemented in Mono. You can test this using Moma:

Then, there are other considerations, such as forward slashes and back slashes, upper and lower case file names etc, all of which will cause you problems.

One thing about those is that they may or may not support all the microsoft features. It may also run slowly. If you really need a linux application you should write it in a language that is used for writing linux applications.

What your trying to do is use a flat head screwdriver to screw in a phillps head screw. What you really should do is use a phillps head screwdriver.

Actually, the Mono implementation, in my experience from an ASP.Net side, is very performant, and in general terms, the majority of the needed functionality was implemented.
