Re: [Mono-list] Using Mono/C# to develop simple OSX app

Hi, Thanks to everyone who posted here - I ended up using Xamarin as the IDE for a Monomac project. I found it really easy to work with and c# seemed like a very natural switch from VB.net. The IDE switched to the xCode IDE for UI design which seemed to work perfectly. End result was a compiled
