Can Gtk widgets be imported into Gtk#

Question

I'm trying to use the GtkSourceView into a Gtk# project, as the TextView is simply horrid.

How can I do that?

There's a GtkSourceView-sharp but it's outrageously dated and doesn't work.

I can't answer you about all the widgets, but about GtkSourceView, I used it a couple of days ago and it works just fine, even with Glade. The Nuget package I used is GtkSourceSharp, which version is 3.24.24.34, like the latest GtkSharp available. If you need to use it with Glade just remember do a dummy declaration before loading the .glade file that contains the actual widget:

        var tmp = new SourceView();
        Builder builder = new Builder(null, "file.glade", null);
