C# for Linux
-
Recently a friend told me that their is a compiler aviable for C# that enables us to generate execuitable for a C# program written in windows to be executed in Linux (i.e. the .cs file written in windows while the execuitable are generated for linux). Is it true? If true which compiler, is it a freeware and where can i find it. I have also noted that when i open my .cs file in gedit (a text editor) in Ubuntu (a linux based operating system), all the keywords that would high lighted(marked in different color) in VS2K8(Visual Studio 2008) IDE are also high lighted in this text editor. Why is this so?

Yes. Take a look at MONO project. It is open-source.

Gedit supports syntax coloring for C# style code.
View -> Highlight mode -> Sourceswill show all the available languages which Gedit supports.Navaneeth How to use google | Ask smart questions
