WIndows form GUI editor in Monodevelop

I have written a tool in Visual Studio Community using a C# windows form project. When I started the project I was unaware Microsoft insist on a user signing into an account after 30 days, (even though they offer an offline installation). For security reasons I cannot connect the computer to the internet to login. I have downloaded MonoDevelop and successfully opened and compiled the project. However, I would like to have the ability to "easily" edit the GUI. MonoDevelop's documentation seems to have little in-sight as to if this is possible. I checked out http://www.monodevelop.com/documentation/stetic-gui-designer/ which describes the process for native Mono applications. When I open the Form1.cs file, I am presented only with the option to view the source code. Is it possible to view the GUI designer?

The Stetic GUI Designer is only available for GTK 2.x based applications and not for Windows' Forms.

There is a project called WinForms Designer that might help you, it has not been updated for many years, but it still runs on at least OS-X (that is only OS that I have personally used it on).

Note: For OS-X (or Linux) using the latest Mono, you will need to update the Makefile and replace the references to gmcs to mcs
