He he.... Thankfully, it takes much more than that to get lynched in this
newsgroup (sometimes). Even so, you're sure to have a least a few people
come to your rescue before the deed could be done. There's enough diversity
in here to guarantee that, even if it's not always popular to applaud MS
technologies. ;)
Anyway, for those of us who are unfamiliar with WinForms, the question would
be whether or not WinForms works on Mono. A quick google seems to indicate
that WinForms is, at least, partially implemented on Mono.
