Well, if you're using a local SQL Server database, you'd be forced to run Windows in a virtual PC on the Mac. Install Windows and your application on the virtual machine and you should be all set to go.

You can try to use Mono, but AFAIK, it lacks SQL Server data provider support. Also, Mono is NOT a 100% replacement or implementation for Microsoft's .NET Framework, so there will be compatibility problems.

Mono is not an implementation of Microsoft's .NET Framework. The .NET Framework is Microsoft's implementation of the ECMA-335 Common Language Infrastructure specification. Granted, Microsoft created the spec, so they have a decided advantage to it's implementation. Both Mono and Portable.NET are independant projects that implement the same specification, but all are free to add their respoective libraries to it to support specific platforms. Microsoft added thousands of namespaces and classes to support almost all flavors of Windows, while Mono supports Unix/Linux and Portable.NET is trying to bridge the gap between Windows and Linux.

And no, each implementation is not a 100% compatible replacment for another. You can not compile an app under the .NET Framework and expect it to run 100% under Mono or Portable.NET. Nor can you compile it under Mono or Portable.NET and expect it to work 100% under .NET.
