Can Mono run binaries produced by Visual Studio?

I am surprised to see the answer: Yes, Mono can run binaries produced by Visual Studio, there is no need to recompile. Thus, if you develope software in Visual Studio or SharpDevelop, you can run those EXE files in Linux, just so long as you don’t incorporate COM or Windows API calls. If it’s pure .NET, you’re golden. Just keep in mind that this seems to be the case for .NET 2.0 and Windows Forms 2.0 only.

As far as I can tell the only reason to use mono to write linux applications is because you’re employed by Novell and forced to use it. Examples: Beagle, F-Spot, Banshee.

Yes, Mono can run binaries produced by Visual Studio, there is no need to recompile. Use our Mono Migration Analysis tool to check if everything that your application uses has been implemented in Mono or if there are special considerations to keep in mind. The Mono API today is somewhere in between .NET 2.0 and .NET 3.5 see our Roadmap for details about what is implemented.

Anyway: I took the following mono code sample that I found at http://zetcode.com/tutorials/monowin…/introduction/ and compiled it with gmcs. When I ran it I got the name error message.
