I ended up doing this and it works quite well. I also reference glade-sharp and use the glade-3 UI editor.

Thanks!

No, the visual form designer is for windows forms.

It turns out that even in winforms, the form designer becomes far less useful once you want to do certain things. I stopped using the forms designer because it is too slow, and I can get more done without it.

nice blog BTW, I wish I read Russian.

I’m not familiar with linq to mysql, but it should work fine with nhibernate based objects or dblinq objects.

honestly, I’m not familiar enough with GTK# full data binding to comment on the details. I’ll look into it.

Hi Jay,
what I i ment in my post was the ability to use full data binding using linq to mysql not MSsql altogether with GTK# without mono . I am not quite sure if you can do that yet!

Does visual form designer works with gtk#?

Great post Jay!
The bad point is that you loose the Monodevelop’s Stetic designer which is the best designer to me. But is good to know that the posibility is there.
I am still working on DesktopRails to offer Gtk#/Windows.Forms/WPF portability.
Cheers mate

@Konstantin

What specifically do you mean “build in linq using gtk” You can use GTK# and all of the features of Linq in both Windows .NET and in Linux.

I won’t throw a shoe at you. I am an old linux guy, but I do like Visual Studio, so I want to write apps which target both Linux AND Windows and GTK# seems to be the best way to do that. If you don’t care about linux, then you can safely ignore this. You aren’t missing anything.
