-====== .NET (C# & VB.NET) ====== 
- 
-This page applies to COMFILE Technology's Linux platforms, including ComfilePi, Raspberry Pi, jPC, and other Linux-based devices. 
- 
-You can develop C# and VB.NET applications on Linux using Microsoft .NET. 
- 
-Windows WinForms applications can also run on Linux using either ComfileTech.WinForms or Mono. 
- 
-{{ :comfilepi:dotnet:linuxdotnet.png?nolink |}} 
- 
-===== Which Option Should I Choose? ===== 
- 
-^ Scenario ^ Recommended Option ^ 
-| Starting a new project | .NET 5+ (Recommended) | 
-| Want to continue using WinForms with modern .NET | ComfileTech.WinForms | 
-| Porting an existing .NET Framework application to Linux | Mono | 
- 
-===== Modern .NET (.NET 5+) ===== 
- 
-Modern .NET is Microsoft's current development platform and is recommended for most new projects. 
- 
-Benefits include: 
- 
-  * Active development and support from Microsoft 
-  * Latest C# language features 
-  * Improved performance 
-  * Long-term platform support 
-  * Cross-platform compatibility 
- 
-Supported platforms include: 
- 
-  * Windows 
-  * Linux 
-  * Android 
-  * macOS 
-  * iOS 
-  * Web Browser 
- 
-For user interface development, consider one of the following frameworks: 
- 
-  * [[https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/apps/aspnet/web-apps/blazor|Blazor]] 
-  * [[https://avaloniaui.net/|Avalonia]] 
-  * [[https://platform.uno/|Uno Platform]] 
-  * [[https://github.com/picoe/Eto|Eto.Forms]] 
-  * [[https://github.com/gircore/gir.core|Gir.Core]] 
- 
-For more information: 
- 
-  * [[:comfilepi:dotnet_core_development:index|Using .NET on Linux Devices]] 
- 
-===== ComfileTech.WinForms ===== 
- 
-ComfileTech.WinForms allows traditional WinForms applications to run on both Windows and Linux while using modern .NET. 
- 
-This is often the easiest migration path for developers who are already familiar with WinForms and want to continue using the Visual Studio designer. 
- 
-For more information: 
- 
-  * [[winforms:index|ComfileTech.WinForms]] 
- 
-===== .NET Framework 4 and Mono ===== 
- 
-Mono allows existing .NET Framework applications to run on Linux. This option is useful when: 
- 
-  * You already have an existing .NET Framework 2.0–4.x application 
-  * You want to minimize code changes 
-  * Your team is heavily invested in WinForms 
- 
-While Mono remains a practical solution for existing applications, it is generally not recommended for new projects. 
- 
-For more information: 
- 
-  * [[:comfilepi:dotnet:dotnet4:index|Using .NET Framework and Mono]] 
- 
-===== Sharing Code Between .NET and .NET Framework ===== 
- 
-If you need a library that works with both .NET Framework 4.x and modern .NET, consider targeting [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard|.NET Standard 2.0]]. 
- 
-This approach is particularly useful for reusable libraries such as: 
- 
-  * Modbus communication 
-  * GPIO access 
-  * I2C communication 
-  * Serial communication 
-  * TCP/IP communication 
-  * Other utility libraries 
- 
-===== Technical Support Policy ===== 
- 
-COMFILE Technology does not provide technical support for Visual Studio, C#, VB.NET, or Microsoft .NET technologies. 
- 
-For support related to Microsoft products, please contact Microsoft directly.
