Interesting comparison

So far I written my web service based Hello World! app in Mono and .NET 2.0 beta:

Language Project Size (KB) Binary Size1 (KB)
Mono2 20.6 8
NET 2.03 23.5 20

Mono produces one output file, Visual C# Express produces five! What on earth is .NET putting in there?


1 Compiled in Debug mode

2 Using GTK#

3 Using System.Windows.Forms
