    My Project is OS dependent or not?

    I did a project in vb.net. I convert it into .exe format. Now can i, run that exe in any platform? or is it OS dependent? My platform is Windows XP. can i run that .exe in UNIX or Linux or other OS?


    Is there any method to make it as platform independent? Please give me some suggestions..

          ya, .exe is compiled exactly for windows, and applications are one thing that makes OS's different, but i heard somesay
          some kind of open source mono-project thing but i wouldnt recommend it, they said it wasnt good either, but i havent read/looked into to it...

              VB.NET is very much dependent on windows. Mono is an option, but it is very unlikely that you can just recompile your source. Not every piece of the Framework is available under Mono, namely System.Windows. Forms, you'll need to do a lot of work to convert.

              If you need cross platform ability, I suggest Java.
