Hi All,

I am new here, and have been trying to find information regarding developing
aplications based on .NET framework 2.0 ( testing 3.0 ) intended to run on a
windows enviroment but i would like to do my development from my Mac without
recurring to a Virtual Macihine with windows installed, is there any body
here doing something like that or have you guys heard something in this venue?

I know the original Shared Source CLI 1.0 was released for the OS X
platform, but since then nothing else.

Thanks in advance for any hints or comments you might have.

Dear God why would you want to do that?

Check out the Mono project (sourceforge?). And I'll pray for you.

I don't think you can do this without using a virtual machine to
emulate Windows. There are free C# compilers but to execute the .NET
code you need to have the .NET framework running.

Or, if you are using an Intel Mac then why not dual boot using
BootCamp?

C#, .NET, SQL, and more!

What's wrong with running a virtual machine and running Windows in the
background?
