All the AppKit and Foundation classes should be useable.

There are classes for all the Cocoa types. So there is an NSView  
class, an NSResponder class, an NSString class, etc. However the  
wrapper classes are written to use System.String instead of NSString  
under the assumption that most strings are small and doing the  
conversion won't be too costly. If this is not true it's trivial to  
drop down to dynamic calls for those cases.

The library has no relation to Cocoa# so I doubt it.
