Two questions: ASP page developping and .NET App


Recommended Posts

Hello! First time posting in the linux section, so I thought I'd ask two questions that have been bugging me since I began my transition to Linux:

First, I often develop ASP pages on a remote 2003 server. I know this can be done in linux, maybe just not tested in Apache :p But my point is, is there a good web source code development platform in linux? In Windows, I use Visual Web Developper 2008, and currently use Quanta in Linux, but Quanta is a bit.... glitchy here and there. Anyone has an idea?

Secondly, at work, we use this kind of Livehelp program that's written in .NET 2.0. Anyone know if it's possible to run .NET 2.0 apps in Linux? I know about mono, but I thought it was just a .NET development framework....

Thanks in advance.

Mono does run .NET 2.0 applications.

It doesn't always run them as expected, because many .NET framework functions and libraries haven't been ported yet.

You can try running your applications by first installing mono.

Then type "mono myprogram.exe" at the console (myprogram.exe obviously being the .NET program you want to run).

If every method is supported, the program will execute normally.

If not, you'll get error messages showing you what functions are unsupported.

You obviously have to go back and change these functions to supported ones, which is usually relatively easy.

Your best bet is to open the Visual Studio solution source with MonoDevelop, and build the application in that IDE.

Then you can make changes, as the compiler tells you what functions aren't supported.

In all honesty, I started porting my C# .NET applications to JAVA, because it's way easier to develop x-platform applications knowing almost everything you do is supported everywhere.

Good luck,

Mike
