[sunjester tuts] Using C# (.NET code/apps) on Linux

[sunjester 1]

Introduction

All of my tutorials are written, tested, and meant to be used on Linux. I am using Ubuntu xenial (currently 16.04). You can use any debian distro and follow any of my tutorials. I will not pander to the Windows kiddies, don't ask.

 

Directions

First, let's check what version you have, you can use the lsb_release command.

 

lsb_release -a

 

18.04

sudo apt install gnupg ca-certificates
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-bionic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
sudo apt update

 

16.04

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates
echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-xenial main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
sudo apt update 

 

14.04

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates
echo "deb https://download.mono-project.com/repo/ubuntu stable-trusty main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mono-official-stable.list
sudo apt update

 

Next, install Mono

sudo apt install mono-devel

Now we can compile and then run the C# code below, that i've saved in a file named hello.cs

using System;
 
public class HelloWorld
{
    static public void Main ()
    {
        Console.WriteLine ("Hello World");
    }
}

using the csc to compile

csc hello.cs

 

and using mono to run the .net executable

mono hello.exe

 

WinForms

You can compile the winforms applications using the following argument

-r:System.Windows.Forms.dll

Gtk# Forms

 

-pkg:gtk-sharp-2.0
