WX.Net
WX.Net is a .NET Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) wrapper for
wxWidgets.
It is composed of two parts:
- wx-c is a C++ library which exposes the wxWidgets API as a collection
of C# friendly functions.
- WX.Net is a .NET assembly written in C# which parallels the wxWidgets
class hierarchy.
WX.Net can be used with various implementations of the CLI, including
.NET, and Mono.
If you are not familiar with the wxWidgets library, you may be interested
in some screenshots of wxWidgets
and WX.Net.
The source code for WX.Net is released under the wxWidgets
license.

The original goal of the wx.NET project has been to wrap the famous wxWidgets framework.
Therefore, classes and enumerations bear names as similar to their origins in wxWidgets as
possible. As a consequence, the names of classes and enumerations contradict widely accepted
conventions in .NET. The coming release will try to change this as far as possible. The
MS tool for .NET code analysis FxCop is currently used to guide this process. However,
current users of wx.NET will have to prepare for releases with significantly changed
names for style flags etc. I recently changed the name of the project from wx.NET to
WX.Net (correct Pascal spelling) to stress the purpose to make WX.Net more .Net.
14-July-2010
The Windows binary wx-c-0-9-0-1.dll of release 0.9.0.1 has unfortunately been built in debug mode. Additionally, I missed to copy the .NET documentation WX.Net.XML into the release. Please apologize any inconvenience. This distribution also contains a fix to the wrapping of the accelerator table that caused access violations. Added tool getwxtext.exe to get gettext PO files translating enumerations, and class names.
20-Jun-2010
The new file release 0.91 is rolling out - based on wxWidgets 2.8.11.
This distribution comes with the complete source code, compiled assemblies
and demo programs, and compiled versions of the wx-c-0-9-0-1.dll for 32-Bit
Windows platforms and a libwx-c-0-9-0-1.so compiled on OpenSuse 11.2 in
"i586" architecture. The Linux library requires GTK+ 2.0.
The containes wx.Net.dll has a strong name signed with my private key.
You may install wx.Net.dll in the global assembly cache and put wx-c-0-9-0-1.dll
into the Windows/System32 directory without any risk of side effects with other
versions of the software.
In contrast, the shipped source files refer to the standard name of the
native DLL: wx-c.dll, or libwx-c.so respectively.
11-Okt-2009
Future file releases will be made available by a new build tool. This tool could be used also for other projects.
Refer to the documentation if you might be interested.
15-Feb-2009
Refer to the
Sourceforge News. In the future, this site will only report new file versions, and this will unfortunately most probably last for a few weeks.
26-Dec-2007
The new file release 0.8.0 is rolling out. This release is based on
wxWidgets 2.6.4 and provides full
Unicode support plus several fixes and extensions to the previous release.
09-Dec-2007
The work for the new file release is almost finished. The new version will have full support for Unicode but still allow latin-1 builds of wxWidgets. Several errors have been fixed. The samples all seem to run error free. You may now write grid editors in .NET. Additionally, the list control now supports virtual lists (refer to the samples). The wxWidgets file system has been integrated. This has been really hard work but allows new applications for the wxWidgets HTML browser. Also, a new help browser has been implemented in .NET. This browser might be an interesting demonstration of some options that WX.Net offers in conjunction with its HTML control.
26-June-2007
The WX.Net project still needs developers and but the project is still active. Current work follows the objectives reliablity/bug fixes, Unicode support, and help browser. As soon as these points come to an end, there will be a new file release on top of wxWidgets 2.6.4. Until that, please refer to the CVS code base when making a download since quite a lot of bugs have been fixed since the last file release. Current improvements are conducted by one developer that refrains from committing unstable or untested code.
12-September-2006
The WX.Net project needs new developers and a SourceForge/project administrator. Or one person who can fill both roles. All the original WX.Net developers have moved onto other projects and are not active in development. Please join the developer mailing list and send an e-mail to it if you are interested.
25-July-2005

release notes. You can also jump directly to the
SourceForge download page for this release.
8-Jan-2005
New minor release, 0.6.1. A WIN32 Unicode bug has been
