[Mono-dev] [Newbie] Force to run a c# apps with Mono Runtime

[Miguel Mudge]

See this page:  http://www.mono-project.com/Embedding_Mono for more
information on embedding Mono as Autif described.

You may also want to just bundle your application into a Mono
runtime+framework+your app using mkbundle, but I'm not sure if this is a
viable option for Windows or just Linux.  More here:
http://www.mono-project.com/Guide:Running_Mono_Applications

As I understand it, your goal is to make it so when your application starts
on a Windows machine, it runs under the Mono runtime.  One possibility is
to have your program, running under the Microsoft .NET Framework, act as a
bootstrap that starts itself under the Mono framework (and the bootstrap
promptly exits).  To detect if your program was started under Mono or not,
try this:

bool isMonoRuntime = Type.GetType("Mono.Runtime") != null;
