[Mono-list] Does MONO runs VB.NET compiled application or web application?

[Timothy Parez]

Hi,

When you compile C#, VB.NET, .... code it generates Microsoft Intermediate
Language.
That's what is executed by the .NET runtime and the Mono runtime.

So in theory when you compile the following:

[VB.NET]
Public Class Test
.... some code
End Class

[C#]
public class Test
{
... some code
}

It should generate the same Intermediate Language, so in theory mono will
not know the difference.
But, (there's always a but) by using VB.NET you are most likely using
classes from the Microsoft.VisualBasic namespace
and those may not yet be fully supported by Mono.

So if you are not using these classes and you compile your application under
windows,
it should work with mono.

Timothy.
