By the way, as far as I'm concerned, WPF is pretty much dead (possibly
more-so than WinForms). At first, the Mono team didn't want to implement it
because it was too big, too complex, and they just didn't have enough
resources to do it. At this point, I think it's no longer worth
reimplementing even if they had the resources for it.
That's ok I guess, and i guess i also agree that WPF is dying if not dead.
I have one WPF app i wrote (an administation tool for a website,
basically a photo and description uploader). I had already started
porting that to GTK# (I got as far as prompting the user for a database
login and confirming that login on the remote server), which is when i
ran into my first bug about a month ago and decided rather than work on
porting my project I'd work on getting mono more functional first.
One thing i'd love to see in gtk# though, and i don't know if i'm going
to have to write this myself, is an html editor control. It doesn't
have to be super complex, maybe something like a rich text editor which
supports fonts that could convert just things like bold, italic, and
underline to html. In WinForms i was able to use a free
HtmlEditor-control which was based on a WebBrowser control, but i don't
think a webbrowser control is an option with mono.
