If you are talking about a Web application, you could use .Net Core, that runs on Windows and Linux (Desktop, VM, Docker).

The application does not have to be a web application, you can also write a console application which has nothing to do with the web and run it in a container afaik – John Doe Mar 14 '18 at 16:57

Yes, you can containerize .NET Framework apps and run them in windows containers: https://www.docker.com/products/windows-containers

I would recommend using .NET Core if your codebase isn't huge (either a small app or a greenfield project) and you don't need any .NET Framework/Windows specific libraries.
