[Mono-list] Build once run on multiple platforms

[Graham Allwood]

Can I ask a general question? More clarification I suppose.   It not going to be possible to run a program compiled with the MS .NET implementation (using Windows) on MONO is it? I mean, when I compile with either CSC or MCS and add references to say System.Data (or whatever) then this will add a reference to a strong named type. So when I compile with MS.NET, the strong name of the MONO System.Data assembly is not going to match?   So is the idea that when I compile under windows I use the MONO libraries if I want my exe to run on Unix because things like System.Data will have the same strong name on both machines?   I thinking more towards System.Windows.Forms, but I didn't know if this would complicate things.   Regards   Graham Allwood
