    Multiplatform???

    Hi:

    I have found some information about the effort made by the
    Linux people(http://go-mono.com/) to implement .NET
    Framework on Linux. Thanks to the newsgroup writer
    yerterday!

    My question today is, what efforts are being made by
    Microsoft?

    Thank you.

    Rick.

          If you mean, is Microsoft building the .NET Framework for multiple operating
          systems, the answer is No.
          The .NET Framework is a part of Windows.
          http://www.microsoft.com/net/basics/framework.asp


          We think it's cool that people are using the ECMA and ISO standards for C#
          and CLI to build independent implementations of those technologies.
          We haven't licensed anything to Novell (Ximian) for the Mono project, and we
          don't support it.

          We have released a shared-source implementation of the CLI, also known as
          SSCLI or "Rotor". But this is not the same as the .NET Framework.

              Thats the issue with portability, its non standardising the libraries.
              Winforms is too dependant on windows, hence you need WINE to run it on
              linux.

                  Really? I've never heard of this is done before. I don't think it's
                  inherently possible to do this. Unless you have .Net implementation that
                  will execute winforms code in Linux, which I don't think there is one
                  available. If you have this, then there is no use of WINE.

                  WINE implements Windows API in Linux, so to make this easier to understand,
                  it is somethine like a translator of Windows API to Linux. If you can try to
                  run MS .Net implementation directly using WINE, somehow I doubt it will work
                  :)

                      They use WINE for mono, and also GTK# but GTK# is crap.
