Hi!
VB.NET generates the same IL, but uses some classes, that are either not =
in the class library, or have a different name.
It contains typical BASIC classes like Beep.

Subject: [Mono-list] Mono Questions
Hi,
=20
I have a few questions about your Mono project that don't seem to be =
answered in your FAQ or rational pages or are a little confusing.
=20
You use the term "Common Language Infrastructure", which is new to =
me. Does this basically equate to the .NET SDK but for Unix/Linux?
=20
You also use the term "Virtual Execution System" does this equate to =
the "Common Language Runtime"?
=20
In your FAQ you have the following:
>Question 48: Will I be able to compile a Microsoft VB.NET application =
and execute the resultant MSIL file under MONO on Linux without =
converting to C# and recompiling?=20
Once we have a complete VisualBasic runtime, yes. <
As I understand it if I right an app. in +VB.NET or C#.NET the =
resultant IL is very similar. Assuming you can run the compiled C# =
program using Mono why can't you run the compiled VB program? Are you =
saying that the C#.NET source code would have to be recompiled under =
Mono for it to work?
=20
Thanks,
=20
Rob
