[Mono-list] Developing on Windows, running on Linux

[Daniel Hughes]

You write the c# application as per normal, And then just run it on linux
using mono.

However you should keep the following in mind:

Windows.Forms is not installed by default in most linux distros.
Linux as a different line ending to windows. If you use Enviroment.NewLine
you will be safe.
Linux has a different path separator then windows. If you use Path.Combine
then you will be safe.
Don't use PInvoke. As the native libraries will not be present on linux.

Cheers,
Daniel Hughes
