Used it. It's cool. What are you wondering? If you can be specific about your questions maybe we can give you specific answers on if something might be possible with it. Don't get too specific though if you need to do that post it in C# or Web Development.;P - Rex

Eesh, I had Mono once... Don't know why anyone would WANT it... Wait a second... You meant the other mono. Ooops :P Seriously though, the only things I have seen on it are purely academic and nothing "real world" Matt Newman

My main question is the cross-platformness of it. Have you tried, for example, writing a program in Visual Studio on Windows, and then taken the compiled byte-code, and running it on, say, Linux on non-Wintel hardware? Is that possible, or have I misunderstood something?

Is that possible, or have I misunderstood something? Yes, it is possible and I did it. You can even get MS own framework DLLs, most of them which don't contain native code or do Interop will work. Although there are also compilers available for Mono. I see dead pixels Yes, even I am blogging now!

Novell's iFolder 3 is written in Mono. I assume it's used within Novell at least. There's a company in Germany which ported an app. from Windows to Linux using Mono. The customer was German local government. Kevin

Yep, I mainly code and develop on Windows, and then copy the built files over to Linux to run on Mono when I'm done. Works fine for me, though GUI stuff I've had problems with, though I did not try hard enough getting all the components installed. These days the all in one installer installs all the GUI components for you. When I last tried it I had to find them and build them myself, and it was tedious. Its easy to compile on Mono as well under Linux. I've heard Shard develop is not bad either.

so... where's it heading, do you see Mono becoming a viable option in near future? Norman Fung (c)
I can imagine that it could be useful if, say, Linux or MacOS X become more popular. Then Mono could provide a route for MS-centric software houses to port apps. to these platforms without having to learn Java or C++ and an X-platform GUI framework. I gather this is what this German company did. Of course as Mono is not 100% compatible with MS's .NET they still had to do some work but it was a lot easier than having to learn and rewtite everything in Java. Here's the link: http://www.novell.com/success/volcker.html[^] With Novell, this is different. Presumably they must already have in-house java knowledge, yet they've chosen to use Mono for this iFolder app. So presumably there must have been some sound technical reasons for the choice? Kevin
