I have been attempting to create a Windows Application using Iron Ruby Version 1.1 and Ruby in Steel for Windows Visual Studio 2010. I have attempted many times to start a new Iron Ruby Windows Application project. I am able to create such a project, however, upon creation, the project is merely a .rb file. My question is how can I create a Windows Form file in [Design] mode?
Iron Ruby lacks any support for a designer in WinForms, currently. You’ll have to manually code it, much of what the designer is doing for you.
Someone wrote a tool to convert C# designer code into Ruby, but that’s as much support for a WinForms designer as Iron Ruby has.
There may be designer functionality support added later, either third party or official, but nothing exists like that right now. There is some promising progress though.
