Comment Im developing System.Windows.Forms (Score 3, Insightful) 493
I work on the Portable.net project
http://www.dotgnu.org/.
Ive written a large chunk of the System.Drawing and System.Windows.Forms namespace. We currently have two "toolkits" that means our SWF copy will work on Windows and X Windows (using Xlib directly). Mac OS is thus supported.
C++ improved on straight C, Java improved on C++, C# improved on Java. C# is becoming an important standard.
We want to reuse software. We want to take existing software that is built to only run on Windows and run it on Linux or other platforms.
We have much of the framework built to write gui applications using System.Windows.Forms. Despite peoples initial suspicions, what we have done works. We already have most controls completed, including textboxes, treeviews, comboboxes, tabcontrols etc.
See http://pnet.homelinux.org for some screenshots
You can now take a .net gui exe compiled in Windows, copy it to a Linux machine and run it and it works!
The technology is excellent and open source. We need people to help us finish it off.
