This was a good idea, but Andy's domain seems to be down which means his email might be down as well. Are there any additional tutorials besides what is listed here? http://www.mono-project.com/GtkSharpTutorials Searching for GTK# on Google yields a lot of GTK+ results, making it hard to get only GTK#-specific pages. -Chuck _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
