Can I run a C# application on a Raspberry Pi?

I'm working on a project that means that I will need a Raspberry Pi; however, I have very limited programming experience in Python or Lua.

Is it possible to run a program compiled in VS2013 using C# on a Raspberry Pi?

You can install Windows 10 IoT: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot-core/tutorials/rpi

Or supported Linux and last version of .NET or .NET Core https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/

You can use VS2019 to compile your C# application to .NET Core 3.1. Once your application is compiled open the directory with the .csproj file in command promt. type in dotnet publish -c release -r linux-arm in command promt. put the compiled files onto the pi then open a terminal window on the py and type chmod u+x <YourProjectName> then ./<YourProjectName> Enjoy!

Yes, although you have to use the mono framework to basically emulate .net, it works for most method calls but not all. Have a look at

If you install the mono framework and follow their guidelines there's no reason your application won't run (obviously within the limits of the framework and hardware). There are quite a few resources on it. I've seen it done in a demo without too many problems.

Writing on the pi would be harder!

You can run Mono on your Pi, then develop in C# if you want.
