Question about C# with Linux

[epod69]

Hi everyone, I am wanting to move from Windows to Linux and I am wondering if anyone knows of any good programs for Linux that I can use to program C# with Linux..I dont know C# yet, but I know VB and I heard that C# is really close to VB.

So if anyone has any suggestions that would be great. Thanx everyone for the help!

Really close, was probably a bit too much. Are you refering to VB.NET BTW, then I guess it isn't that far away. But the syntax is more C like. If you are refering to VB6, then it is a bigger step. But it should still not be that hard.


Take a look at this link:
http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page

and this one:
http://www.dotgnu.org/


for C# linux development.

Wow! It looks like mono has support for 64 bit. Dont you have to have an OS that supports 64 bit as well enable to run any apps made to run 64 bit though?

I think someone else can answer that better than me. But I am pretty sure you can make 32bit apps to run on 64bits computers, but I don't thing (even if I am not sure) you can do it the other way around.

32-bit apps can run on 64-bit Platform .The C# compiler specification in mono proj tells on which platform you can develop 64-bit apps .
