[Mono-winforms-list] stuck with WinForms issue, not sure how to proceed

[Frank Bergmann]

Try running your assembly like this: 

MONO_LOG_LEVEL=debug mono --trace TestJemForms.exe

this sets the MONO_LOG_LEVEL environment variable to debug, so you see what native libraries are loaded. Adding the —trace option will let you see what is being executed. (You could even add filtering there by namespace, so you see only things that are interesting to you). 

for me your assembly ultimately crashed, as it was looking for some resource not bundled in your archive: 

[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Images\group.ico
  at System.Drawing.Image.FromFile (System.String filename, Boolean useEmbeddedColorManagement) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 

Cheers
