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

[Daniel Lo Nigro]

No you don't have to recompile. .NET 3.5 is built on top of .NET 2.0, in
the end they're essentially the same runtime (3.5 just adds extra classes
to the class library).

And in any case, .NET is very backwards compatible. Even .NET 1.0 libraries
should still mostly work on .NET 4.5 without recompilation.
