I inherited a .NET 4 VB project to port to .NET Core 10. It uses System.Windows.Forms, so it needs Mono not .NET Core. I plan on switching the GUI to a CLI while verifying every hour the business logic remains identical.
VB.NET programming in Ubuntu suggests sudo apt-get install monodevelop mono-vbnc. But mono-vbnc is missing after Ubuntu 22.04, and the less-necessary MonoDevelop was last seen on 16.04. I would like to be able to try running the vbnc command.
I have Ubuntu's system-wide .NET 10 set up in JetBrains Rider. I want to avoid a Ubuntu 22.04 container, which has overhead, will be EOL in a year, and hiders graphical IDEs or even graphical editors e.g. Kate. Ideally, I want to set breakpoints and evaluate debugger expressions, but I'd appreciate running the legacy project in any form.
