Checking Silverlight Migration to Moonlight

We're in the process of creating a Silverlight project and wondered how we could validate/test if it would run on Moonlight. From regular .Net to Mono there is the Mono Migration Analyzer which generates a report on which methods are missing in Mono to provide full support. Are there any similar tools from Silverlight to Moonlight? ...

Moonlight on PowerPC Mac

Silverlight stopped supporting PowerPC Macs after version 1.0. Will Moonlight 2.0 work on a PowerPC Mac?

Why wouldn't Microsoft want to hinder Mono and Moonlight?

Microsoft has all interest in preventing cross-platform software to happen. The incompatibility between Windows and Linux is the main reason why people don't migrate to Linux in large numbers. Both the Mono and Moonlight projects are trying to eliminate exactly this obstacle. Because of this, I wonder whether it isn't very risky to sta...

What is Moonlight technically?

There is surprisingly little information on the internet regarding what Moonlight is exactly from a technical point of view. Is it correct to understand it as Mono-based CoreCLR + base libraries (the same .dlls as Silverlight has as part of the plugin itself)?

I have tried the simple test "Silverlight 2.0 animation test" at http://bubblemark.com, surprisingly Moonlight provided only 26 fps on Linux. Windows/Silverlight 3 gave me 192 fps on the exact same machine. Why is Moonlight so much slower than Silverlight? This performance gap is really important if you are planning to develop high fps,...

Silverlight/Moonlight on Android devices

Monodevelop 2.2 on OSX - Debugging disabled

According to the feature matrix of Monodevelop 2.2, debugging should be available on OSX if one installs Mono 2.6.3. I've done this on two of my Macs, but can't seem to get the Debug menuitem enabled - it stays disabled. The project type I'm trying to debug is a Moonlight project, and according to the preferences in Monodevelop, the Moon...

Silverlight IDE for latest version (May 2010)

In 2008 Artur Carvalho asked for an Alternative IDE for Silverlight and was told to look at Visual Studio Express. Is that still the valid answer in 2010 or are there other IDEs one should consider (cost/ OS it runs on / stability)? I'm trying to get a feel for silverlight development before commiting cash. So I don't need enterprize ...

I look forward to develop a WPF MVVC application which is to be ran both on Windows with .Net Framework and Mac/Linux with Mono.

What resources should I use to port my .NET application to Mono or Moonlight?

I have a few applications that might qualify for porting over to a Linux/Mac platform, but first I need to know what baseline of technology is safe for compatibility, what is marginal, and what is unsupported.
