I tried running a .NET executable in wine, but it is not opening up. The particular executable refers to some .NET dlls (assemblies) located at the same place as the exe. Is there any way to run it in wine or by using some other method?

P.S The application uses Google Data API to fetch data from google docs.

Run it using Mono, an open source cross-platform implementation of the .NET framework.

Mono is the platform to run .net apps in linux/ubuntu. But it needs to be supported by the developer. So far I know, the executables are different in mono. So, you cannot run the app directly in mono. If you have the source code, then you can try to migrate it to mono with MOMA. If you don't have the source, the you can consult the developer.

I am not a WINE user. But I think .net framework should also be installed in WINE to run a .net app. Maybe this link will help.
