Project -> Export can export to VS slns, and #develop 1.0 format.

#develop 2 uses VS solutions natively. MD can also open VS solutions
directly (though the GTK# designer may have problems with this).

MD trunk uses VS solutions as the default format.

For your particular problem, an easier fix would be to go to Tools ->
Add-in manager, and install the GTK# 2.8 addin. Chnage the project's
GTK# options to target GTK 2.8, then your binaries should work on
windows directly.
