I use TypeDescriptor and PropertyDescriptor (System.ComponentModel
namespace) to get all properties. Then I add a specific GUI editor for
each properties found (string : Gtk.Label, int : Gtk.SpinButton, etc.)
if type is unknown, I search for an enum interface.
Here is a basic example of use :

public class MyWindow : Window {
	
	public MyWindow () : base ("MyWindow")
	{
		PropertyGrid pg = new PropertyGrid();
		pg.SelectedObject = this;//edit current window
		this.Add(pg);
	}
}

It's possible to add an editor for a specific type at runtime :

PropertyGrid.RegisterEditor(typeof(GdkSizeEditor), typeof(Gdk.Size));

I also use DescriptionAttribute to display tips over different widgets.

here is a overview :
