Running .NET 4 application with Mono

Question

I\'m trying to run a .NET exe on a Ubuntu machine (I installed the package mono-complete), so far with no luck. The application is compiled with Visual C# Express 2

Sounds like you're experiencing this bug:

My Doc's Got No Nodes: .net 4 Client Profile on Mono 2.8

That is assuming you installed > Mono 2.8 (which was the first release to support .NET 4.0). If not, you should install a more recent Mono package.

The other thing to keep in mind is that Mono doesn't support the entirety of WinForms. Unless you developed your application with Mono in mind, there's a good chance you'll find that something you used isn't supported.
