[Mono-list] Porting Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms to Mono?

[Miguel de Icaza]

Hey,

Mono has an implementaiton of Windows.Forms, but it is both old,
unmaintainted and known to have some bugs.

Some people have been able to use it effectively, but we do not currently
have an active maintainer, so we encourage developers to pick something
like Gtk# instead.
