This is actually a question for the mono-winforms-list, but I'll try to give
an answer anyway.

Looks like mono is having a problem deserializing the resources for a form,
a bug report (bugzilla.novell.com) would be very welcome.

However I think you can work around this problem by building with mono
(install MonoDevelop, open your VS solution in MonoDevelop and run/build
it). This way the resources will be generated by mono and mono shouldn't
have any problems loading them.
