Porting .NET 3.5 app to Linux

Monday, May 3, 2010

Started doing research on porting a .NET 3.5 Windows Service application to Linux last week and today.There is a WinForms maintenance\admin tool that needs to be ported too.

Looking at Mono and related friends. Need to come up with a way to support MSMQ and Windows Workflow Foundation. Looks like the support for this in Mono is in alpha and not stable yet.

AFAIK Mono team plan to implement full WWF any time soon.Because there are not many users of WWF on *nix and they are also short of resources.

I have found lots of tutorials..basically though, get Mono 2.2, run MoMa on your solution, take it from there.
