| Open source .NET, should I use GTK# or the Microsoft widgets? |
So, I'm working on some open source .NET code at the moment, and the next step is to add a suer interface to it. Now for my quandary. Do I use the microsoft widgets, which means that when running on Linux you need to use Wine, or do I use the GTK# widgets, which work on Windows, but need an extra installer?

First, you don't need Wine anymore to run Windows.Forms applications. Since Mono 1.1.4. I think GTK# is only way because Windows.Forms on Mono is poorly supported. On the other hand dotGNU ( http://www.dotgnu.org ) has better support for Windows.Forms. Even with dotgnu you must be still carefull. In Mono 1.2 should be Windows.Forms completely supported. As Mono roadmap says, version 1.2 will be available in second quartal of year 2005.
