Overview
Mono for Windows 64bit is a software platform designed to allow developers to easily create cross-platform applications part of the .NET Foundation. Sponsored by Microsoft, the tool is an open-source implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework based on the ECMA standards for C# and the Common Language Runtime. A growing family of solutions and an active and enthusiastic contributing community is helping position the tool to become the leading choice for the development of cross-platform applications. The program has support for both 32 and 64 bit systems on a number of architectures as well as a number of operating systems.
After you get the app installed, it’s probably a good idea to run a quick Hello World program to make sure everything is set up properly. That way you’ll know that your Mono 64 bit is working before you try writing or running a more complex application. The Mono project focuses on compilers and runtime libraries and does not directly provide an IDE. Developers must choose from a series of available tools the one best suited for them. MonoDevelop is a Mono/C# Integrated Development Environment for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It parses your C# and VB programs as you type them and is able to provide contextual completion of methods.
