[MonoDevelop] Monodevelop and Microsoft VB 2005 created programs

[Brian Smart]

Hi,

I will try to give sensible answers to your comments. (They may not seem to
sensible to you!)

 

'As Michael mentioned you don't need to convert anything, just copy the
binary from your Windows machine to your Linux system and run it.'

When you say just copy the binary to the Linux m/c, which file are you
referring to?
 
'First I'd recommend running MoMA on your program to identify possible
Issues'

I ran MoMA and no issues were found.

'it would also be easier to help if you explained more detailed
what your program does.'


The program I am trying to convert to run on Linux is a simple test program
that just opens a window that includes a button. There is no additional
code. 
Until I can get over this first hurdle I don't want to try anything more
complex.

Regards

Brian Smart
