Hello, i am working on my thesis project. I have a GUI written in vb.net that can print word docs files. I need it to run on raspberry pi. It did run using Mono but when i'm going to choose the files, the program crash and says "operation is not supported on this platform" does anyone knows how to fix this? is there a chance my gui runs on rpi? I have no knowledge in phyton and tkinter so i use vb.net for building GUI. Any help would be much appreciated.

What I have tried:

I tried using mono but still, the program crashed

Does you app run on the pi?

Show the file selection code you are using?

If openfile.ShowDialog = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Docfilelbl.Text = Path.GetFileName(openfile.FileName)

The app runs in the pi until i choose the file i want to print.

Look at the error message, it is telling you that something you are trying to do is not supported. Find out what that is and remove it from the application.

If i remove what it is telling, the application cant choose the file i want to print.

Well you cannot choose a file if the underlying system does not support that operation.

If on Raspberry PI 2 is NOT installed Windows operating system, you cannot run vb.net application written under the Windows. Note that the most of OS-s for Raspberry PI 2 are based on FreeBSD and Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, etc.) editions...

You'll need to install Windows 10 IoT[^] and write an UWP application[^] to be able to run it.

Another challenge is to open Office document (Word). You cannot open it via Interop (i think, but i'm not sure). You'll need to use OpenXml.
