Hi!   VB.NET generates the same IL, but uses some classes, that are either not in the class library, or have a different name. It contains typical BASIC classes like Beep.   Johannes ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert H.

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
