[Mono-list] RE: monobasic!

[Piyush, Garyali (IE10)]

Thanks for the information,

I would like to know if there is any way a vb.net compiled console
program can run on mono. I am using the mono-0.15 on cygwin and have
also .net [visual studio.NET] installed on my box.

Is the IL for a c# program different from that of a vb.NET program.
If it is, how well is mono able to differntiate between them?

thx in advance
