Am I able to embed the .net runtime so that .net is not required on the host operating system? I was looking at doing this with Mono by looking here: http://mono-project.com/Embedding_Mono but seems to allude to using external modules to accomplish this. My goal is to have one single executable with no installed .net runtime. I do not know how this would be configured in my application to compile the native code, link the mono runtime- as well as compile the C# code and link that as well?

You can now statically compile Mono assemblies as was just demonstrated at PDC. The purpose of doing this was to allow .Net applications to run on the iPhone, but this should work anywhere.
There are some limitations to this; obviously, it can’t depend on runtime-generated code, so Reflection.Emit is out.
