so, is it possible? to create a .NET application using FASM assembler?
anyone have tried it?

if yes, then, those VB peeps would coming to love FASM

I guess it's not possible, because .NET has its own "assembly language". What I mean is that it is an interpreted language, and compiler doesn't put any data like normal opcodes in the file, but some other stuff, that later on will be interpreted to "our assembly". That's also a reason why it won't ever be fast

Theoretically, the .NET VM can analyze the usage patterns of the code, and generate "optimal" machine code, targetted for the processor you're using - something that won't happen with regular x86 machine code. Things like inserting branch hints on P4, taking use of available processor features, etc. Of course this is theoretical, and there's still a long way to go

Maybe something very basic may be implemented with macros? I've not studied the .NET platform much, but it might be possible, a bit bothersome though..

Here's an executable compiled with Mono on Windows. It just displays "Hello FASM Crew" but take a look at the compiled code under a disassembler or hex editor. It's really fairly complicated.

Ofcourse to compile... mcs hello.cs

PS: have a look at "ildasm" and friends for .NET "assembly" programming.

i downloaded the hello.exe
and i got this

hello.exe - Application Error
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.

Hi vbVeryBeginner..

I suppose you do not have .NET installed ? I'm not though why you would get that error.

yup, did that on purpose :p
suppose the .gone app should msgbox us "hey, u there", "go and get a .net now" LOl
