[Mono-osx] Cocoa# customization

[Lloyd Dupont]

HI Andrea,

My Question is about the internal of Cocoa#, how does it work? what kind of 
interop should you used to tap in ObjectiveC class?
calling a C function is straight enough: [DllImport] but how do you call 
ObjectiveC class?
At least I would like to understand that (I haven't really lookede at it 
yet, really busy on some other things so far).

I see you have a coed generator.
Could it be you just generate a C library to call each function and .NET 
classes doing simple interop to the method?

Any clarification would be welcome!

I'm not quite shure if I understand your question.

Cocoa# is mac only and will not help you in converting an existing
application to windows.
