I want to switch over to Mono from .Net (plus Visual Studio to whatever IDE in Mono).Is this going to be really tough?
What are the issues I would face?
Thanks

As others have pointed out, I’m assuming that what you meant was moving from the .Net framework to Mono. With that said, the amount of difficulty you’ll face depends a lot on what kind of code you are trying to move and what parts of the framework you use. For example, if your code is littered with P/Invoke calls, you’re going to have a rough time. If it’s straightforward .Net code you will probably have relatively smooth sailing.
You’re going to want to spend some time with the Mono Migration Analyzer (MoMA). You’ll run into things that aren’t caught by the tool, but it will catch a lot of the basics and leave you free to tackle bigger things.
