-====== .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.
