[Mono-winforms-list] using Windows.Forms on multiple platforms

[Kornél Pál]

Hi,

The only thing you have to do is to write platform independent code:
- don't use P/Invoke to call platform dependent functions (unless you
implement the same functionality for each platform)
- use IntPtr for pointers (ensures 32-bit and 64-bit compatibility)
- don't assume little endian integers (don't convert integers to byte arrays
unless you deal with endianness)

Note that usually the above things are not required.

The rest of your code that uses the class library will be plaform idependent
and no special action is needed.

Kornél
