I’m writing a cross-platform code in C#. The code will involve IO, so I’m prolly using the System.io namespace.

However, I’d like to find out if it’ll work with Linux, or any other OSes that C# support?

Commands like System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory() , other than directory address, is there any other difference I need to take note of?

Also, what other parts in coding C# should I take note of when I’m plan for cross platform compatibility? (GUI, etc?)

I’m thinking of using QT for GUI, is it refined for C# yet?

Thanks!

    The primary difference is that you need to build your paths using Path.Combine instead of assuming that the paths are separated by backslashes (or forward slashes if you’re coming from Nix). All of the System.Io libraries work great in Mono.

    As to the UI, use GTK# – Qt doesn’t really work for .NET (there are libraries, but GTK# is way more finished)
