For a Windows Forms designer I use Visual Studio (Express) and compile

Thanks Michael and Brian, I will follow all your advice, two more questions
would be:
1. Do the Python packages that I used to produce my code (Numpy, Scipy, Sympy,
pylab, matplotlib, Mayavi2) would load and execute using IronPython as you
recommend? I read in a blog by Michael that libraries of regular Python do not
work... please advice this need.
*Most* pure-Python libraries work fine with IronPython. Libraries which
are written in C (or depend on modules written in C) - which
unfortunately includes numpy, Scipy and all the ones you mention - don't
work with IronPython as it doesn't have the Python C API they use.
*However*, there is a project called Ironclad (created by Resolver
Systems) that provides the C API. It doesn't have 100% coverage yet -
but significant proportions of numpy, scipy etc do work.
http://www.resolversystems.com/documentation/index.php/Ironclad.html
and
Replace "this" with "self",
get rid of any existence of "new", convert any true or false values to True
or False, remove the semicolons (not required though), etc. A few
f> ind-and-replaces turns C# code into working Python code :)
2). Not highly important since I can look up in the web (don't think I'm lazy, it's a matter of time) but: if there is on your wiki or maybe in the issues, a complete list of equivalences between C# and Python when coding GUIs... I haven't touched C (turbo C++) in 10 years... to do the replacement Brian talks about.
No one has written a comprehensive conversion chart I don't think - but
it would be an interesting project.
C# is not really very similar to C except superficially.

Thanks for your very quick reply,
Angelica.
