Hi,
I have a few questions about your Mono project that don’t
seem to be answered in your FAQ or rational pages or are a little confusing.
You use the term “Common Language Infrastructure”, which is new
to me. Does this basically equate
to the .NET SDK but for Unix/Linux?
You also use the term “Virtual Execution System”
does this equate to the “Common Language Runtime”?
In your FAQ you have the following:
>Question
48: Will I be able to compile a Microsoft
VB.NET application and execute the resultant MSIL file under MONO on Linux
without converting to C# and recompiling?
Once we have a complete VisualBasic
runtime, yes. <
As I understand it if I right an app. in +VB.NET or C#.NET
the resultant IL is very similar. Assuming
you can run the compiled C# program using Mono why can’t you run the
compiled VB program? Are you saying
that the C#.NET source code would have to be recompiled under Mono for it to
work?
Thanks,
Rob
