[Mono-list] 1.0 Release and Developing in VS.net (VB)

[Jonathan Pryor]

Just to elaborate on this, it depends on what your VB app uses.  See
also the "vb.net applications on linux" concurrent thread.

If you avoid the VB runtime classes (anything under
Microsoft.VisualBasic), you should be safe.  Using ``Option Strict On''
will help with this.

Some parts of the VB runtime classes are implemented, and should work
for Mono 1.0, but not everything.  In particular, I doubt that the
late-binding VB infrastructure (which allows you to invoke arbitrary
methods on System.Object) will be fully operational.

The only way to be sure is to try it under Mono.  :-)

Please report any bugs you find.
