Mono and Visual Basic .Net

Hello,

I'm trying to run an aplication done in Vb.net under linux using mono. I can run this app in windows using mono but in arch I'm experiencing problems.

This is the output:

** (GWFreaks.exe:6027): WARNING **: The following assembly referenced from /home/serjor/.wine/drive_c/Archivos de programa/GWFreaks/GWFreaks.exe could not be loaded:
     Assembly:   Microsoft.VisualBasic    (assemblyref_index=1)

     Public Key: b03f5f7f11d50a3a
The assembly was not found in the Global Assembly Cache, a path listed inthe MONO_PATH environment variable, or in the location of the executing assembly (/home/serjor/.wine/drive_c/Archivos de programa/GWFreaks/).

File name: "Microsoft.VisualBasic, Version=7.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"

Ok, the problem here is clear, there is not assembly for Vb.

Looking for vb in my computer:

/usr/lib/mono/gac/Microsoft.VisualBasic
/usr/lib/mono/gac/Microsoft.VisualBasic/8.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll
/usr/lib/mono/gac/Microsoft.VisualBasic/8.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll.mdb
/usr/lib/mono/2.0/Microsoft.VisualBasic.targets
/usr/lib/mono/2.0/Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll

Is there anyway to get support for 7.0.5000 version (1.1 actually)?

Thank you very much

Re: Mono and Visual Basic .Net

Is mono even compatible with Visual Basic? If it is, can it read MS project files?

It is, or at least it should be compatible (as I said, I was able to run the probram in windows using mono). About ms project, no idea :-(

Re: Mono and Visual Basic .Net

Should you not be using mono-basic for VB.NET stuff?

It is installed, the problem is mono package doesn't contain visualbasic.dll for .net 1.1 (which is required by the app), it does for .net 2.0
