Hello,

I have made an aplication in visual studio 2010, C#, WPF, and i was wondering if there is a way to run it on linux or android? The aplication is about a chat aplication, which connects to a server where other people are connected and chating.

Linux - probably yes, if you use Mono. I don't know whether it supports WPF though, I have never tried.

Android - There is also a Mono for Android. I have never looked at it though, so I can't say.

A quick google for "Mono" and "Mono for Android" will find you all the details you need.

I am not sure whether Mono supports .NET framework 4.0 or not, does it?

Dunno - the projected road map (http://www.mono-project.com/Mono_Project_Roadmap) just says for "fall 2011"

This statement[^] on the Mono[^] website says there are no plans on making WPF available.

If you can translate your app to Silverlight (shouldn't be too hard, they share a lot) then you can use Moonlight (Mono's port of Silverlight) on Linux. Judging by a quick search, Silverlight for Android is in late development and should be available soon.
