I've recently started tinkering with GTK# for the first time, and getting used to Glade. What are the pros and cons of developing on, say, Visual Studio with Windows Forms vs, maybe, GTK# on MonoDevelop? A combination of Glade and GTK# seems mature enough to be a viable alternative to Windows Forms on the surface, but what about underneath the hood?
I'm a newbie to C# and I'm no .NET expert, so don't bombard me with too many details ;-).
It depends if you need cross-platform support and if you want to run on Windows or not. GTK# works cross-platform. Windows.Forms is still in the process of being ported.
If you want to develop your app for Windows, there is still no way to distribute a GTK# app without requiring your users to download and install Mono or GTK#. Your app won't work with .NET alone.
I like the form designer in SharpDevelop (similar to Visual Studio's) better than Glade. QT Designer is nice but it doesn't work with GTK# or Windows.Forms.
