[Mono-winforms-list] Newbie question on Winforms

[Rafael Teixeira]

Did you reference the needed assembly System.Windows.Forms in the project?
Unless you say the compiler to look inside that separate 'library' for
classes it will spell such error messages (it is akin to not adding a jar to
the claspath in java or not including some header file in C/C++).

Fun,
