I'm still a newbie, but I wrote a program in Visual Studio Express 2012 on Windows with references to an API through a .dll and .NET framework 4.0. If I try it on Ubuntu, I get messages like "Could Not Load File Or Assembly". Is there a way to run this on Ubuntu? If so, how do I get it to work?

1What kind of dll? Does your program use a Windows native dll, or is the dll itself an assembly? That is, is the dll a "normal" windows library or is it a .NET library like your program? – Eliah Kagan Aug 01 '13 at 19:32

It's a .NET library. – PersonPlant Aug 01 '13 at 19:49

Ok I figured it out. You can't simply compile your .net code under Windows and then expect it to run under linux like this: mono myprog.exe
You have to compile it under Linux first - so first download the vb compiler apt-get install mono-vbnc
then copy your source code over and compile like this vbnc myprog.vb
then run like this: mono myprog.exe
Hope this helps someone!

Some VB.net applications will run on ubuntu using mono. In general support for them is not as good as for c#.
You can run your application from the commandline as follows:
mono YourAssembly.exe

trampster Unfortunately, that didn't work. I thought that maybe I was doing it wrong, but it looks like that just wasn't possible. Thanks though. – PersonPlant Aug 02 '13 at 16:18

Yes you can do that simply installing mono on your ubuntu as follows
sudo apt-get install mono-complete
After installation of mono
mono test.exe
