Can I get my project ready, and make it run on a Mac OS X? (It was done on . NET Framework 4.5.2, for Windows).

Depends on what was used in the project. It depends on how it was written (this part may require a bit of adaptation if it was not thought to work on a different platform, but nothing too difficult). And of course some things may be too specific to port. Porting doesn’t mean it will look great on the other platform. But it is possible to improve.

It was already possible to do this with Mono, with some limitations. It is now possible with the .NET Core, also with limitations (now just use it). Some extra libraries can be used to help with portability.

If you want to take advantage of GUI, forget it. If the project is bad the chance to reuse in full easily went to space. The quality of portability has to do with the quality of the project as a whole.

  • I have heard many times about Mono, but it is possible to convert a project Console raised in a .vbproj to the same language? In other words, it will change my language?

  • Now I’m not sure what you’re talking about. But I don’t think.
