Misconceptions about the Glade# Code Generator

So there seem to have been quite a few misconceptions about the Glade# code generator, both recently and a few months ago, that I want to clear up.

Glade# Code Generator

I wrote a very basic application to generate Glade# code from a glade xml file using CodeDOM. Its a good way for new users to get an idea of how to use Glade#, as well as a way for everyone else to save time. This tool generates stub classes (one class per top-level widget) that [...]

Anyway we still had a good time, Chris was working on implementing a version control system into monodevelop, Andrew was working on refactoring the information management application he is developing, and [...]
