[Mono-list] Can't Port Winforms App [newbie]

[Stifu]

For what it's worth, from the Mono command prompt on Windows, when you do
"MyApp.exe", then the app is run with .NET, not Mono.
Also, if you're trying to run a WinForms app, you don't need GTK#.

Anyway, I'm not sure what's wrong. Is the app you're trying to run available
somewhere?
