in the running system (i.e. Linux or MacOSX). In other words: existing
components for .Net would run in Mono or I must have specific versions to
different plataforms?
It's tricky to gauge how well a component runs under .NET. I have found that many of those companies that have a background in VB6/COM, an ComponentOne is certainly one of those companies, have "'.NET Components" are nothing more that three different things:
1. A Interop wrapper around the already existing COM component
2. A assembly that basically passes calls through to the COM component
3. An assembly that actually unpacks the existing COM component, then runs it.
I have come across all three during my .NET development. So, buyer beware. Just because it says '.NET Component', doesn't mean it's a pure .NET component.
Just a heads up.
