| GoSuGaMING | Does the compilation factors change from 6.0 to .net? i heard u can compile for different os's | March 22, 2004, 1:34 PM |
| K | The .NET Platform is a Virtual Machine, just like the Java VM. As such, .NET code can run on any platform with a .NET Framework installed. In practice, this is limited to Windows, although the mono project (http://www.go-mono.net) has implemented much of the framework on on the Linux platform. | March 22, 2004, 5:11 PM |
| Myndfyr | Don't forget Microsoft's Shared Source CLI that implements much of the .NET Framework on Windows XP, FreeBSD and Mac OS X 10.2. | March 22, 2004, 9:10 PM |
| GoSuGaMING | but the linux platform for programing is differernt than if you were to program for windows correct? | March 22, 2004, 9:11 PM |

[/quote] No, not with the .NET platform. As with Java, .NET code is compiled to something called "Intermediary Language" (Java's equivalent is Bytecode). As long as the runtime exists on the target computer (in this case the .NET platform, the Mono project, or the Shared Source CLI), you can potentially run a .NET program compiled on any platform on any other platform. | March 22, 2004, 9:23 PM |
| GoSuGaMING | oh, but the user would have to download the .net platform for the program to run is what your saying? | March 23, 2004, 12:22 PM |
