I didn't want to hijack Davepocket's thread on his GUI based .UZE editor so here's a thread to discuss cross-platform .NET development.
I was always put back to do GUI tools for the Uzebox because of the pain of cross-platform development. But now with MONO it seems to be a very good solution. I have started with a simple Hello World WinForm app compiled in VisualStudio.NET on Windows (using .NET 2.0 profile) . With MONO installed on Ubuntu, I launched the app and sure enough it worked just like a native app!
So that's a good start. I'll have to find up to what profile it works and see if I can port the map tool I'm working on.

Re: .NET apps on Linux
I got very good results with mono, I have a map editor I wrote for a different microcontroller project, it may be a good starting point for you if you want it.
Re: .NET apps on Linux
Well, sure! I'm still ramping up on C# and looking for all tricks and ideas about manipulating graphics in .NET. You can PM me the sources or post them in this thread. My goal is to make a simple map tool with a simple map engine aimed at the lowest possible map sizes. I don't want to re-invent the wheel and make a game engine since Platz already does that very well.I got very good results with mono, I have a map editor I wrote for a different microcontroller project, it may be a good starting point for you if you want it.

Re: .NET apps on Linux
Hi there !
I don't know if it will interest you however I heard recently of the SFML library for C# which seems to look like SDL in terms of graphics management. I don't know anything about its portability.
Sorry I can't help you more but it will perhaps give you an idea, who knows?
All the best,

Re: .NET apps on Linux
I remember using a Visual Studio equivalent on Mac way back called Real Studio by Real Software: http://www.realsoftware.com/realstudio/
Apparently it seems like it is able to build the applications for multiple platforms while on a single platform.
