Hi Guys,

I'm developing an application on the Windows .NET platform and want to do as
much as possible up front to insure that it will run on Mono once it becomes
a more mature platform for ado.net and WinForms development.

My question for the list is:  What can I do to insure that the migration
will be as smooth as possible?  Should I use VB.NET or C# as the development
language?  Any other factors that I should consider or libraries I should
avoid using?

Thanks for the great work!  I can't wait to have a nice clean API to develop
against for both platforms.  Java is nice but I agree that the Mono approach
has distinct advantages.

Will
