[RESOLVED] .NET Framework 3.0 Forms

[eSPiYa]

I have tested .NET Framework 3.0 yesterday and amazed to the new GUI (I mean controls). What UI library do they use to produce that good looking but slow GUI? I think it is not windows.forms anymore, it is close to Gtk or the UI library used in Linux and MacOSX.
I'm very lazy to read a hundred chapter novel about M$ products.

I'm just curious about it, maybe it can be used as UI for MONO.
I really love MONO.

Windows Forms has been replaced in Vista/.NET 3.0 by Windows Presentation Foundation. It's comprised of all new controls in all new namespaces.

So it is the WPF which I am using.

Thanks for the help.

I suspect that deployment of MS F 3.0 applicartions under win98 will be no possible. Right?!!

Best regards,

There's a CTP of WPF available for VS 2005. Given that Mono hasn't even fully implemented .NET 1.1 or got a genuine release version for .NET 2.0 as far as I'm aware, I don't see Mono for .NET 3.0 arriving any time soon.

.NET 3.0 is will work on XP SP2, Server 2003 SP1 and later.

However, MONO can do almost everything I need (for now) except the UI library.
The way the GTK# renders the controls sucks, I still like Windows controls.
Windows.Forms are very buggy so I don't have choice but to use that GTK# control.

They already started .NET 3.0 for MONO, I've read it from one of their pages.

I'll gonna help them this coming December after I move to another company.
