[Mono-list] I'm new to Mono for ubuntu I have a question?

[Martin Thwaites]

It actually sounds like your looking for a drag and drop ui creator for
windows Forms as part of MonoDevelop...

The first thing to mention is that you're asking in the wrong place
(although I would imagine there are also if the same people on this list as
the MonoDevelop one).  This is probably down to a misunderstanding of
terminology.

To clarify... "mono" is a runtime, not a development environment.  The
equivalent is that "mono" is the. NET Runtime, and MonoDevelop is visual
studio.

That said, If you create a windows Forms application in visual studio, it
will probably, mostly, work, unless you're doing something really clever.

As far as I'm aware though, there is no windows Forms designer in
MonoDevelop.  What you should do is check out the alternatives to windows
Forms that are truly cross platform as I think there are some that provide
a decent .Net Api. I seem to recall Gtk# being a popular alternative,
however it's more like WPF if I remember correctly.

Hope that helps
Martin
