      First of all .Net framework in its complete form is only targetted for Microsoft Platform. But there is something call Mono which can be used to target the Linux, Solaris etc Platforms. This [^]Google Search should help you.

      Please remember to rate helpful or unhelpful answers, it lets us and people reading the forums know if our answers are any good.

        And no, Mono is NOT a complete implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework. You will not be able to just write and compile on a Windows platform and expect your app to completely work by copying the .EXE to Linux and launching it.

          Which is why I don't use it.

            There is Mono, but it is not a complete set of .NET. You cannot really do true .NET development and run it on Linux. If you want to do real Linux development, you should really be aiming towards C++ and try QT, Trolltech's development environment or Eclipse.

              You can't write a program for Windows and expect it to run on Linux. If you want it to run on Linux, use Mono. If you want it to run on Windows, use .Net. The chances of a Mono program running on Windows (with the necessary runtimes installed) are better than a Windows program running on Linux.
