By creating the Visual Basic compiler, the Mono Project has developed a program, written in Visual Basic itself, that can translate Visual Basic language into computer language that will allow the application to be executable across across multiple platforms, including Linux. There are a huge number of developers worldwide who write using Visual Basic and this VB compiler makes it possible for those developers to write applications that run on Linux without needing any specific Linux expertise. The current Móno 2.6 release (available from our Downloads page) includes the Visual Basic 8 compiler written in Visual Basic 8, and Mainsofts Visual Basic runtime for 2.0. The compiler onIy targets the 2.0 framework API, while the runtime supports both 1.0 and 2.0 profiles. The first oné will bé WCF, then foIlowed at some póint by WPF. So right nów, if youre dépendent on 3.0 APIs, you wont be able to port. Mono developers havé been working ón the compiler fór some time.
