<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Mono is indeed a good place to start. Also look at Monodevelop. You probably won't be ably to run Visual Studio on Linux but depending on what third party controls you're using, you'll be able to import the VB.Net project into Monodevelop and compile it or develop if further on Linux/mono it works quite well though from experience, if you're really keen on building crossplatform GUI apps on linux, then mono and Gtk# is you best bet. I look at Banshee for inspiration it's amazing how mature and productive mono is now.. Just wish the FLOSS community didn't hate on Novell. I believe mono is already a valid and productive development platform. </div><div><br></div><div>Mono is not wine, so don't expect to use it to run windows apps on linux, it's a development platform where you can create native and cross platform apps C#, VB.Net, Python, etc.. </div><div><br></div><div>Give it a go..
