Re: Hello? Any one out there?

Hi John,
WPF is not yet implemented in pnet and copying dlls from .NET will 
probably not work in this case. You will have much better chance with 
porting application based on System.Windows.Forms or gtk-sharp. If you 
want to check what is/is not implemented, you can take a look at 
pnetlib. It is basically:

- runtime libraries (mscorlib, System.dll, System.Xml)
- System.Drawing.dll and System.Windows.Forms.dll
- System.Data.dll (available through ml-pnet)
- and much more...

Some bits might be marked TODO, you'll have to check yourself.

Have fun,

Radek
