Translate or migrate c# programming to Linux Ubuntu

[PeterAndrewStephenson]

I am trying to use a c# programming on Linux Ubuntu I need some way of using what I wrote to successfully compile on Linux

Take a look into Mono

I have no idea what the current state of it is like though.

As a less attractive but potentially still useful alternative, it looks like there's a transcompiler available that compiles C# to JavaScript, called ScriptSharp. Implementation of the transcompiler exist only for Windows, but you could, theoretically, execute (some) resultant code in Node.js in a Linux environment.

Mono, windows under a VM, running it as a service hosted on Azure... there are a few options that don't involve conversion to another language. What exactly are you trying to do/get?

Another option is converting it to Java. Any chance you can outsource the work to a third world country? I haven't tried converting an application between C# and Java myself but the hearsay I've heard is that it's usually not too hard.

Wrote an encryption program in C# and moved it over to Java in a few hours. Not impossible but my application was only a few thousand lines of code.

Converting to Java is going to mean a lot of work. The languages offer similar syntax and constructs, but the various libraries and APIs are different enough behaviorally that 're-writing' is going to be a more appropriate word than 'converting'.
