GTK# in Visual Studio 2010

I've been trying all day to get GTK# working in Visual Studio 2010 on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 so that I can start writing nice cross-platform GUI applications, but I'm somewhat new to C# and I'm having a world of trouble. I installed the latest Mono for Windows which includes GTK#. I also installed a Mono 2.10.8 profile to be the target framework of my project loosely following the guide from here: http://erictummers.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/target-mono-from-visual-studio/ I created a new Windows Forms application and removed references to the windows forms stuff and adding references for GTK# stuff, loosely following the guide from here: http://jrwren.wrenfam.com/blog/2008/11/01/gtk-in-visual-studio-2008-on-vista-x64/ I also added a reference to gtk-dotnet in addition to the ones from that guide. This is my application's complete code: ``` using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using Gtk; namespace GridToGo { static class Program { [STAThread] static void Main() { Application.Init(); Window myWin = new Window("My first GTK# Application! "); myWin.Resize(200, 200); myWin.Destroyed += new EventHandler(myWin_Destroyed); Label myLabel = new Label(); myLabel.Text = "Hello World!!!!"; myWin.Add(myLabel); myWin.ShowAll(); Application.Run(); } static void myWin_Destroyed(object sender, EventArgs e) { Application.Quit(); } } } ``` When I try to run this with any configuration, I get the following exception: ``` System.TypeInitializationException was unhandled Message=The type initializer for 'Gtk.Application' threw an exception. Source=gtk-sharp TypeName=Gtk.Application StackTrace: at Gtk.Application.Init() at GridToGo.Program.Main() in F:\visual-studio\GridToGo\GridToGo\Program.cs:line 13 at System.AppDomain._nExecuteAssembly(RuntimeAssembly assembly, String[] args) at System.AppDomain.ExecuteAssembly(String assemblyFile, Evidence assemblySecurity, String[] args) at Microsoft.VisualStudio.HostingProcess.HostProc.RunUsersAssembly() at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context(Object state) at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state, Boolean ignoreSyncCtx) at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state) at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart() InnerException: System.DllNotFoundException Message=Unable to load DLL 'glibsharpglue-2': The specified module could not be found.

I even tried copying 4 copies of the DLL into pretty much every folder in the solution with the following names: `glibsharpglue-2` `glibsharpglue-2.dll` `glibsharpglue-2.o` `glibsharpglue-2.o.dll`! I also even tried installing the GTK all-in-one package from the GTK site and adding its bin folder to my system path, and then copying the same 4 dlls into that folder, all with no luck. Any advice for my crazy problem? I feel like I'm missing something big here. >_<
