Depends on what you mean by "port." For iPhone support there is MonoTouch [0], and for Android support there will eventually be MonoDroid [1], but both of these do not use System.Windows.Forms for their UI (or anything like System.Windows.Forms). Instead, they directly expose the native underlying APIs, e.g. MonoTouch.UIKit [2] for MonoTouch and Android.Widget [3] for MonoDroid. If you properly design your app to follow MVC-style patterns, it should be quite sane to write a common "core" for your application and platform-specific UIs for iPhone, Android, WP7, etc. - Jon [0] http://monotouch.net/ [1] http://monodroid.net/ [2] http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=N:MonoTouch.UIKit [3] http://docs.monodroid.net/index.aspx?link=N:Android.Widget _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
