[Mono-winforms-list] New install of C Sharp, using System.Winforms not found

[Stifu]

"In the monodevelop there was some kind of design page, although different
from visual studio;"
It must have been the GTK# designer (an alternative to WinForms).

"Can you describe how I would build it in visual studio but then test it on
linux??"
Just build your application normally on Windows, and then you can simply
test your app directly on Linux (either the binaries or the sources, both
are compatible with the Mono runtime and MonoDevelop respectively, without
any changes). So it's all pretty straightforward.

Note that no matter what, you *will* need to install the Mono WinForms
package to run WinForms apps, if you don't already have it. It's installed
by default in OpenSUSE if memory serves. Look for "winforms" in your package
manager, to confirm it's there and installed.
