[MonoDevelop] Can't get basic code to work

[Sergio Hernandez]

Looks like the compiler is not aware of the Clicked Signal and/or the Label & Entry widgets. Try the following:

1.- On Stetic you need to initialize the Clicked signal for the button1. On the Stetic designer, select the button on the <Widget Properties> go to the tab <Signals> (There are only two tabs, <Properties> & <Signals>).  Expand <Button Signals> and then select <Clicked>, then double click to initialize the Signal, and again double click to create the template:

protected virtual void OnButton1Clicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e){ }

On MainWindow.cs in the view Source Code (MainWindow.cs have two view <Source Code> & <Designer>). Here you can start coding.

2.- Probably you are not declaring the label1 & entry1 widgets. So you need to declare them as Gtk widgets right after the declaration of the public class and before the constructor:

public class MainWindow: Gtk.Window
{	
	Label label1; // or Gtk.Label 
	Entry entry1; // or Gtk.Entry
	public MainWindow (): base ("")
	{
