Will a program compiled in Mono for Windows run in Linux (with Mono) out of the box?
Short answer:
Maybe.
Longer answer:
If you are not using Windows specific namespaces (such as the WMI namespace) and windows specific concepts (like not having
\embedded in file paths instead of usingPath.DirectorySeparatorChar), things should work just fine.To check whether your application is expected to work, use the Mono Migration Analyzer.
