RE: [DotGNU]Winforms combobox

Ok no problem, I was just throwing out ideas, I wasn't cutting any
corners hold your horses.  Have you taken a look at why winforms on CVS
won't execute EXE's anymore?

Take care,
Simon

It also would be arguably a direct derived work of MS code, and hence a 
Copyright violation.  Yes, it is annoying to write it all by hand, but
it is 
more defensible, even if the result ends up being the same.

I've also found that writing classes by hand actually helps me
understand how 
they are put together, which then makes it easier to write the
implementation 
afterwards.  You won't get this insight if you auto-stub.

Please everyone, don't cut corners on this.

Cheers,

Rhys.
