...with visual basic 2005 to Linux, Macintosh, etc softwares? i have written a software in VB 2005, so i want to share it with other Os users too. how can i do it?

You Can't...

You'll need RealBasic. http://www.realbasic.com/First, you convert your VB code to RB code with their converter, do some tweaks to make sure everything is compatible...Then, compile the software to the platform you want to run it in.It may not be a straight convert, but it beats re-writing from scratch.

You can use Mono to compile and run VB.Net on Windows, Macintosh and Linux:http://www.mono-project.com/Main_PageYour Mac and Linux users will need to have the Mono runtimes installed, and you may find you need to re-write your code slightly depending on what features of .Net you've used - some things in .Net 2.0 aren't yet implemented in Mono, and if you've used any Windows specific stuff you may need to research the platform independent equivalents:http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_Technic...ux.3FThere are a load of tutorials on the web which might be useful, though some of them are quite dated now:http://www.sitepoint.com/article/get-sta...dio.phpYou also should try and get the new compiler (vbnc) rather than the old one (mbas):http://www.mono-project.com/VisualBasic.NET_supportThis will be part of the next release (1.2.3).
