[Gtk-sharp-list] how to add a gtk# reference in Visual Studio?

[Grant Birchmeier]

So, one last try:

Does anyone know how to get all the necessary mono-3.2.3/gtksharp-2.12.11
libraries installed in a proper Windows way such that Visual Studio can see
them?

Please note: I know that Visual Studio cannot use the UI designer; I just
want it to be able to build the project as-is.
