I think wx.NET should work equally well in vb.net or Managed C++ or
any other .NET language out there ...

Going on to prove that point, I picked my favourite .NET language
ie Java (shocked ?...I've been working on the java compiler for some
time now ;) ... and did this up.

Attached is the Minimal example app using wx.NET written in Java
(though I haven't quite got to figuring out how Enums,Structs and
Delegates  can be accessed from Java)... But after all this is to
prove a point.

The java libs are partly in C# and partly in java (stolen from 
classpath) which is why it's not entered dotgnu cvs until after
the stable release of 0.60 as yet and I'm uploading this especially 
for you folks ... (hehe)

$ cscc -ljava.lang -lwx.NET Minimal.java -o Minimal.exe
$ ilrun Minimal.exe

So the entire point is that I stand by Jason on the ".NET" thing ..
(especially since MSFT hasn't been able to register it as a trademark)
