information regarding asp.net on multiple plateforms

[Sridhar .M]

Any can help me,
is ASP.net application run on any platform?

or If i want to make an asp.net application Platform
independent ( other than windows) is there any way to do
it.

It requires IIS and therefor Windows.
In the past there were "add-ons" for other Web Server's like Apache that
would allow pseudo-asp code to run but I dont believe that any other Web
Server or OS is capable at this time. ASP.NET requires the .NET Framework
and isnt' that only available for Windows?

the Mono project has been working on an open-source compiler for C#...

But that's not ASP.NET in and of itself though, just the CS

you might want to have a look at the mono site...
they are the only company who comes anywhere closer to any sort of non
microsoft implementation of .net framework.

year back when i looked they were doing a whole lot of namespaces which were
supposed to be equivalent to microsoft implementation... infact they also
have winforms equivalent for linux platform...
www.go-mono.com

microsoft also produced a sample called cassini which doesnot use IIS to run
asp.net as such and to show that it is indeed possible...

never had any issues using MS and dont have a reason to try non MS so have
no clue how good mono is... but it probably is your best hope....

As far as I know, Mono *does* include ASP.NET.
but I am not part of the mono project , so no guarantees.
