[Mono-list] System.Windows.Forms Form ?

[Jonathan Pryor]

It should be noted that even after you get your application compiled, it
won't run correctly.

At present, in order to run Windows.Forms apps, you need a
specially-compiled version of Wine installed.  The standard Wine will
not work with Mono.  See:

Please note that Mono's System.Windows.Forms implementation is not
complete yet, so there are likely to be programs that won't run under
Mono at this time.

Alternatives to System.Windows.Forms include:
  - Gtk#: http://www.go-mono.com/gtk-sharp.html
  - Qt#: http://qtcsharp.sourceforge.net/
  - SharpWT: http://www.sharpwt.net/OpenSource/SharpWT/

Note that the alternatives are also incomplete (but still being worked
on), but are likely more complete than System.Windows.Forms.
