Mono 2.0 includes the implementation of class libraries such as ADO. NET 2.0/ASP. NET 2.0/Windows. Forms 2.0/system. xml 2.0/system. Drawing/LINQ/GTK. This release is more complete and mature than 1.x. Among them, the C # compiler has complete support for C #3; for the standard library, the winforms 2.0 API has complete support, and the LINQ and ASP.. Net supports more well than before. The execution engine starts to share generic code and reduces the memory usage.

The new version of the main site interface is also very beautiful

A few years ago, if someone said that CLI is cross-platform, taking mono as an example, it may be hard to attack mono, that is to say, there was a heated debate in the garden last year. net can be used across platforms. However, the current Mono is different from the old one. With the ever-maturing monodevelop, it is becoming more and more realistic to develop CLI platforms outside of windows.

Mono is getting closer and closer to the product status. As long as no P/invoke is required, many. NET applications can run as-is on mono. Paste a mono feature comparison table:
