[Mono-aspnet-list] Can I use a DLL compiled for Mono with gmcs on Windows ASP.Net?

[don rhummy]

Thank you again! One last question:

If I compile for .Net 2.0 do i have to recompile for 3.5 if I'm just using classes that have the same functions/signatures in both versions?

That tool will look at your .NET code and tell you if it's using anything that Mono doesn't support (I don't think it's up-to-date for Mono 3.0 though). It doesn't actually do any changes to your code, it only analyses it.

I compile the code for my site on Windows and deploy it to a Debian Linux box. Works fine as long as you don't use anything Mono doesn't support (that's where MoMA comes in handy). Going the other way (Mono -> Microsoft.NET) should be even easier as you can probably view Mono's runtime as a subset of Microsoft.NET - You generally won't find things in the Mono class libraries that aren't in Microsoft.NET :)

Thanks. I thought you couldn't because I'd read (at least going from ASP.Net on Windows to Mono) you needed this tool: http://mono-project.com/MoMA
