.net compatibility with MAC OSX ?

[semidieu]

I made an application using VB.net.

I know it exist some "emulator" on MAC to use PC applications. Does someone know if a vb.net application can be compatible with a MAC OSX ?


Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look.

I'm not sure to understand...

Will someone be able to download my application and run it with "mon myapp.exe" or do i need to recompile it using mono ?

In theory, you could just run your .NET app on a non-windows platform that has the Mono runtimes installed.

In practice, you probably need to recompile... and rewrite. Until the Mono stuff is more robust, there are several things that do not work. Given time, that list will narrow... but for now, be sure to test it thoroughly before deploying.

OK.. thank you.
I will look if i can install mono on a MAC machine and test it... As it's *basic* stuffs (manipulation of text files), it will perhaps works directly...

Thanks again for you answer !
