feedback and suggestions for GTK#

[Sharique uddin Ahmed Farooqui]

Hi,

I'm writting a a GTK# application (Although Qt is my favorite gui
toolkit of all time).  There are few things I have noted

* data binding - I googled, but did not found simple way to do the
task. (I'm from asp.net bg, and I like its data binding very much).
Since Gtk# is for desktop, it is going to support Winform or WPF like
data binding.
* I think property naming of controls should be in .Net  style not Gtk
style (like for combobox property name should be SelectedIndex instead
of Active). This will make easy for other .Net develoeper to write
apps using Gtk#.

To add to this, another advantage of using naming similar to the GTK+ naming is that it is usually very straightforward to translate GTK+ code, documentation and tutorials to GTK#. Translating Winforms knowledge to GTK# would be hard no matter what naming was used; the naming is a minor issue compared to the other differences.

GTK# is not the same as winforms and some gtk widgets behave differently
than their winforms counterpart. Renaming them to the familiar winforms
names could lead new developers to expect the old behavior and cause a
lot of frustration.
