Re: I think I've found a bug. Can anyone confirm or clarify?

Something immediately strikes me as wrong: you're mixing GTK# and
Windows.Forms. In your earlier message, I thought this was a WinForms app.
You need to pick one or the other. :)

However, note that Mono / MonoDevelop doesn't have a WinForms designer. So,
if you want to use a GUI designer, either use WinForms on Visual Studio /
SharpDevelop (your exe will still work with Mono), or use GTK# on
MonoDevelop (note that GTK# apps will require an extra 8MB installation to
run on Windows).

Good luck!

So I take it you want to use GTK#, then?
In this case, you don't need anything else other than MonoDevelop. You can
forget about Glade.
And make sure to remove the System.Windows.Forms references from your
project. :)

Glad I could help!

I don't know what OS(es) you're on, but if you're on Windows, you can use
Visual Studio indeed, but you don't even need to compile your stuff with
Mono afterward for them to work with Mono. An exe compiled with Visual
Studio will directly work with Mono with no modification. And vice versa, an
exe compiled with Mono will work with the .NET framework. Hence "Binary
Compatible" on the Mono site front page. :)
