Here a a couple of nice documentation hints :o) http://www.go-mono.com/tutorial/ http://www.go-mono.com:8080/ http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/ http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/cpref_start.asp Wright, Peter: Beginning Gtk+/GNOME programming Remember to read the source of Gtk+ too, its pretty nice. > I can't get monodoc running... i don't have most of the gnome libraries since > i don't run gnome and installing gtk# from CVS (which is apparantly a > requirement to get monodoc working) is not something i'd even consider since > i'm writing an application that uses gtk# and i can't expect the users of my > application to install gtk# from CVS.
