Working with Windows Forms with designer on Linux?

2

In Linux (Ubuntu) can you create applications with Windows Forms in Mono or similar using a designer such as Visual Studio ?

I'm having trouble because I need to develop with Windows Forms in a Linux environment with a designer similar to Visual Studio.

I tried using the Mono site , but when creating click events, etc. it is not possible to do this.

Possible is, but Mono's Windows Forms is very problematic, generally the people do not use. Some problems can be seen at FAQ .

In general there is a preference to use GTK # .

Note that the designer page indicates that it is outdated. It occurs even because it is essentially abandoned. It may be an existing problem. Do not expect too much support on something that "nobody" uses.

An alternative is to develop in Visual Studio (I know you can not, according to another question, but it's an option) and then use it in Mono. I do not know how much it will work. In theory it is to give, but in practice I doubt everything will work 100%.

In any case, it is possible to program without the designer .
