[Mono-dev] Embedded mono using monomac classes

[Mackey Kinard]

I found out that the NSView.cs class does not define a constructor... 
So how does NSView work when using without embedding?

// // Support code for NSView 
// using System; namespace MonoMac.AppKit { 
 public partial class NSView { 
      object __mt_tracking_var; 
    } 
 }

Says it's a partial class... Where is the rest of the class... I am assuming that is where
The constructor bindings are?
