Someone knows if VS Coded UI Tests run under Linux using Mono ??
Dont have a testsetup on my hand to test this fast :/
Coded-UI does not support any OS other than Windows.
You can find it here. Supported Configurations and Platforms for Coded UI Tests and Action Recordings
Supported Operating Systems:
Operating Systems Windows 7
Windows Server 2008 R2

Currently I am using Ubuntu linux and I want to create a WinObjC app on Linux plateform. Is there any way to create WinObj apps on linux.
Sorry to disapoint you, but unfortunately there is not. WinObjC is intended to bring iOS apps to Windows 10. Basically it just enables you to write Windows 10 apps in Objective-C but you still need a Windows 10 machine to compile it.
A Windows 10 device and Visual Studio are mandatory at the moment, to create WinObjC apps.

I'm planning to develop an app for Android using Qt Quick Controls and an Android Emulator. The same set of components is said to work on Windows Phone. Thus I'd like to build the app for Windows Phone as well.
Unfortunately, Qt for Windows Phone is only available for Windows.
I don't own any Windows phone. I'm using a computer running Linux.
Is it possible to build the app for Windows Phone and test it in an Emulator without virtualizing/dual-booting Windows
Well there is Wine. This is what wikipedia says about it;
Wine (short for Wine Is Not an Emulator) is a free and open source compatibility layer software application that aims to allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems. Wine also provides a software library, known as Winelib, against which developers can compile Windows applications to help port them to Unix-like systems.
You can find more info about Wine here; https://www.winehq.org/
I haven't tried it before but since it says "allow applications designed for Microsoft Windows to run on Unix-like operating systems," I'm thinking it should work.
This is your only option. If it doesn't work, then i guess you should think about running windows on virtual machine or dual booting with windows. Good luck!
Zorin is a version of Linux which is very Windows-like. I am looking at their home page:
http://zorin-os.com/
and it says:
Zorin OS gives users more flexibility. It allows you to use Zorin OS
alongside your current operating system and run Microsoft Windows
programs in Zorin OS with the help of WINE and PlayOnLinux.
Does this mean I could use Visual Studio 2012 on Linux?!?!
Ok, so Wine is a compatibility layer which allows you to execute windows executables on your linux system. PoL is just a graphical frontend with some others functionalities.
You can use it on any linux system, it's not exclusive to Zorin.
However, executing windows applications through wine isn't always successful, especially with huge projects as Visual Studio which is using tons of native windows functionalities.
And indeed, when we check the reports, VS2012 doesn't work at all.
You can always try to install it, but when even the installer doesn't launch... You know there is no luck.
How to execute Windows Forms Application in Linux 5.0. I installed mono 2.8 on my linux machine. Here i am very new.Please help me. For console application of C#, it is executed successfully. But C# windows application it is not executed. Can u tell me what is the pre requisite condition for executing the C# windows application on Linux machine. Please.......
Take a look at the Mono guide to porting Winforms applications
I dont think you can without running it in wine or something like that.
You can code in .net but i think the front end still needs to be in GTK or linux UI equivalent
As i just need the hard RT capabilities, can I install and run Windows Embedded CE 6.0 on a regular PC ? (dell or so ?), and UDP out some data ?
You can install Windows CE in a PC, but you would need to create your own image. See this tutorial in MSDN. Also google for CEPC.
Finally visit Mike Hall's blog. I remember reading a related article there, but I can't find it now. Anyhow, this blog is a great resource for Windows Embedded.
(From working with Windows CE 5.0, so there may be some differences, YMMV.)
You should be able to run Windows CE both in an emulator and installed on the device itself as the host operating system.
In the first case all you need is an emulator, which is provided with the development kit and in a more expensive version of Visual Studio. This will run the OS fine, albeit a bit slow depending on the architecture you choose to build the Guest OS for.
In the second case you will actually need to find or write drivers for the hardware that you want to run on and use. This will require the Platform Builder application (I believe it's a plugin to Visual Studio now) and knowledge of the hardware that you are running on. Windows CE itself does support x86 processors, although I don't remember if it supports all x86 processors (instruction sets) or just 486's.
If you want to go down the second route you also may be able to get an Intel Atom or AMD Geode board support package (BSP) which will help you develop the drivers.
