[Gtk-sharp-list] DataGrid control, data binding, ObjectViews, Swf, Gtk

[Christian Hergert]

The original version of the datagrid i put in monodevelop was taken
from sqlsharpgtk. Daniel has since done some additions to the
monodevelop version to support basic editing and deletion. It also had
support for somewhat of a managed tree model. To be honest, im not
sure if ive merged that support yet. Both versions are a hack
regardless.

Your example below will not work. First, you cant add an object to a
gtk container that doesnt inherit from Gtk.Widget. Secondly, even if
it did work, you would have just doubled your requirements on every
platform to both gtk and swf.
