executing c++ console application on raspberry pi

Question

how to run a VS2015 c++ console application on raspberry pi 2. I installed mono, copied the .exe file and try to run it. But it said "Cannot open assembly abc.exe: File does not contain a valid CIL image."

I am new to this method. I couldn't able to try with VisualGDB as my trail license got expired.

Is this method correct?

Answer 1

As melak47 stated in the comments, mono is intended for C#, rather than native C++ executables. You may be interested in Wine , which is designed to run these native executables
