Hi people!

I remember that this is the DotGNU approach.....

From:

http://www.dotgnu.org/pnet.html
"An advantage of our implementation of System.Windows.Forms is that we don't
try to wrap up third party widget sets like Gtk, Qt, Wine, etc. Instead, we
provide a basic drawing layer and then render the controls ourselves. The
approach is similar to Java Swing, in that all controls are implemented in
pure C#."

Hello,

I see that the Drawing namespace works via gdi+ on both Windows and Linux so
I was wondering why we don't just
develop controls using that Library instead of relying on gtk+ which must be
installed on Windows?
