You should pick your target platform first. Is your application going to be deployed on Windows or Linux? Are you planning on porting it some day, or not? > As an aside, I'd also like to know now well mono works with third party > controls?

Some controls work, but until they offer explicit Mono support some of the controls that do some Windows magic will not run on Mono. I think your choice is more between Gtk# and Windows.Forms than it is between Mono and .NET _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
