BASIC STEPS_WIN (Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 express) -> LINUX (SLAX)

hi


first of all, this is a good idea to make program to work on different platforms.
now, after installing mono, i just don't know what to do to make my program work in linux (slax).

i program in MS Visual Basic 2008 express edition, but i make so-called "Windows Forms Applocation" and not "console..". Here is everything half-prepaired. Now- ok i know how to compile, but where to click to compile for LINUX? it seems, i have to copy exe and other files (maybe bas to some folder), then run this mono console and then what to entry???

this program is quite useful, but no easy steps-how to... that is quite bad for such good and big project.


can u please write short easy step-by-step tutorial for MS Visual Basic 2008 express- how to convert for linux, please?

still questions:
1) on linux ("slax" or other) - do i have to have anything more installed on linux like MONO for linux (so that programs can work on linux then)?


thank you soo much for help

PS: an easy step-by-step tutorial is very much needed for not-advanced programmers
maybe with pictures if it is hard...:-)
