When will .NET be available in Linux (Mono) for practical full featured use ?

Novell Desktop 9 and Suse 10.0 both include Mono 1.x with support for both desktop and webservice applications.

I was pretty used to using VS6 and updated at work in the last couple of years to VS.Net.   For C++ developers, it's a nice jump to the .NET IDE that really gets them access to rapid Windows development.   \n\nBut for VB developers, it's a big change.   This is because VB 6.0 lives in such a different environment than VB.Net.   Visual Studio.NET is a TRULY object oriented platform and many of the oddities about VB were removed to put all of the languages on the same playing field.  For more on this, check out some of the migration articles on the following link.\n\nIn fact, one of .NET's main advantages is Language independence.   You can develop and compile VB, C#, C++ and many other languages from the same IDE and even in the same project. \n\nAnyway, even with VB, once you get past the big change in the environment, you'll see that .NET is very powerful when compared to VS6.0.   Things like inheritance and .Net framework calls (instead of those clunky Win API calls) make a huge difference.\n\nFinally, for web development, VS.NET provides ASP.NET, which is a big improvement over ASP.  Now you have a framework to do true structured programming for the web.  And it can be as simple as dragging a control on a form and coding behind just like VB 6.

I prefer MySQL, but I don't use .net

Try the following link:\n\nhttp://custom.programming-in.net\n\nIt has info about the API along with how to access it from C#, VB.NET & VB6

Yes. and it must be .NET framework 2.0

Pretty much all MS software that's intended to run on servers is now part of the .NET framework: Visual Basic, ASP, SQL Server, etc. So it's not a single product, and the pre-existing component products have not undergone any mind blowing changes to become integrated into this .NET philosophy. In short, it's Microsoft marketing hype.

as much as in .net or mainframe.

Look for "unnamed pipes", not "anonymous" and msdn.com.\nTry also to find sources at codeproject:

Nobody would ever go that low level in an application - never! In fact, you'll run into great difficulty if you try. Modern NT-based OSes (XP, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Vista) will NOT let you have any direct access to hardware, through the HAL.\n\nThere are plenty of APIs in Win32 and .NET Framework to let you work with files and directories. Build yourself a nice recursive system with the existing APIs, rather than trying an improbable stunt like going to the FAT file system... (and are you even sure your system uses FAT? It could well be NTFS in a modern system.)

Try http://www.sourceforge.net\n\nEverything there is open source.

.net is a framework that is used in software development. the framework basically allows you to use libraries of controls, datastructures and other important assemblies to rapidly create and deploy software.
