Hello,

I need to know that .NET Framework has Mac OS support. As someone of my
application needs to run on Mac OS.

Thanks.
 
While the Microsoft.Net Framework is not supported on Apple's OS X,
since OS X is Unix based, I believe the MONO project is a possible solution.
No - Apple has not announced anything, but there is a project called MONO,
which is
being done on Linux, it's possible that Apple may utilize it. According to
an E-Week
article about mono, it was stated that OS X support was planned.

but no nothing yet.

here's the site's link http://www.go-mono.com/

hope that helps,
sincerely,
J
 
ah, I just checked the mono site and heres' a nice blurb

PowerPC port
Most tests now work on both MacOS X and LinuxPPC. Neither of them are ready
for production use, but most simple programs will run with the JIT.

It's a start. Check out the release notes of .30 of mono

hth,

Thanks guys. But if there is no good .NET Framework support it would really
difficult to work with directly as I used develop application for print
industry and we have 80% Mac OS. I saw bunch of conversion option like this

But still its not .NET Framework and emulators are not that good.

Thanks anyways.
 
Yes. thanks for the suggestion but in my case most of clients are not
connected to internet nor they have any web server locally available. They
just have some DB servers.

Thanks.

You might try IntraWeb. It deploys as a web application, but can deploy
itself 100% self contained as its own web server. Then you just have them run
it on one of their local Windows, .Net , (or Linux, or Java) servers and all
the machines can access it. No setup of any webserver needed. :)

It sounds like you might want to do your initial development with Java, as this should work fine in a cross-platform type environment. If you design you application well it should be trivial to port it over to C# later when .Net is supported on the Mac.
