So, Mono…
So the next problems I encountered were the interface problems. WinForms on Linux is ugly and the DataGrid doesn’t work. So I ported my app to GTK#. Cringe. GTK is ugly both in its visual display and its programmatic interface. I simply used it because there was a visual designer in MonoDevelop. However, that choice forced me to have a mix of C# and Boo since the designer does not generate Boo code.
Unfortunately, GTK# is a bastardization that mocks the clean design of the .NET Framework. It is neither object-oriented nor does it integrate with the natural data structures. Want to bind a DataSet to a UI control? Then use Windows and forget about GTK#.
