[IronPython] IronPython and Visual Designer

[Caglar Toklu]

Hi Don,

You can use SharpDevelop
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/
as a GUI designer. And yes, it is like "VB6" unlike the tools that just
generate the UI code once.

SharpDevelop supports IronPython 2.6 too, and it is much more up-to-date
then http://ironpythonstudio.codeplex.com/.
