I am considering attempting to build an existing ASP.NET and web service application 
(there are two applications in reality) on Mono.

Can someone advise me if this is worth trying please?, perhaps my interest is better 
spent on other tasks for a while. I do not want to attempt to build a project when 
there is little or no chance of it actually running. If it is better to wait an 
estimate of how long you think it will be till I have a chance of success. If it can 
succeed, which build and platform would you recommend.

Thanks 
Gavan

An overview of the application.

The web service uses the oledb data access funtionality up to DataSets, ASP.NETs 
implementation of web services tied together with a range of framework pieces such as 
reflection, xml serailization etc.

The only piece that I think might be an obvious issue is the use SOAP extensions in 
the code base, but I could chop that out if need be.

The UI portion of the project makes use of ASP.NET controls and the Data grid control 
in particular. 
Naturally the project is broken down into multiple assemblies however the access to 
these guys takes the simple copy based deployment approach, No GAC.

The projects reference:
System, 
System.Data, 
System.Web, 
System.Web.Services, 
System.XML, 
System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap

The web app also references:
System.Drawing,
System.Design,
System.Windows.Forms,
Microsoft.Web.UI.Controls

There are some COM components being called as well.
