I've always done it by hand in Mono, as as far as I recall Visual Studios
form designer serializes (or something similar) the forms. I'm not sure how
well mono(develop) copes with this, probably fine however.

It _should_ simply be a case of copying all the .cs files into a blank
project in mono develop (with VS2K3 I think MonoDevelop can import the
project in it's entirety without that necessity, VS2K5 afaik is a bit of a
no-go).

I've not really tried with any of the above so it could be way off in terms
of accuracy, my best advice would be do the WinForms code by hand, I've got
a good book on WinForms which I can heartely recommend; Windows Forms
Programming in C# by Chris Sells (ISBN:0-321-11620-8)

Hope some of this post was useful, and good luck!
