Hi CHughes,

You should probably just develop in VS2002 (VS2005 targets WinForms
2.0 which we haven't started to port).

Use the wizards to create a WinForms project, draw your form with the
designer, attach handlers to the events (if you double-click a button
on your form VS will add a blank handler for the click event, and jump
in the source editor just there so that yu can write meaningful logic
for it), compile it, run it in windows to be sure it looks and behaves
like you want, and when everything is OK just copy the resultant .exe
file to your Linux box that has Mono installed and run with 'mono
nameofprogram.exe', and it should behave almost identically (just
beware of some semantic pitfalls bound to the OS, or errors caused by
using some of the blocks we decided not to implement, or trying to use
third part controls that aren't portable or COM components).

Good resources are:
