Can't find Interface Builder in MonoDevelop

Can't find Interface Builder in MonoDevelop

To build iPhone and/or iPad applications using C#, you need the MonoTouch, iPhone SDK and MonoDevelop IDE. Besides there, there is one more component called the Interface Builder. Actually, MonoDevelop does not have a Visual Studio like interface designer where you can drag and drop controls on user interfaces. Interface Builder is used to design user interfaces and think of it as Visual Studio designer.

When you build an iPhone application project in MonoDevelop, there is one .xib file added to the project. This is your interface.

First time, when you install MonoDevelop and click on xib, you not get anything. I tried this for two days and also try to look for the Interface Builder application, no success.

So I end up uninstalling MonoDevelop and installing MonoDevelop again. After that, I opened my project and double clicked on xib, it launched the Interface Builder.

Jeez! I am still getting used to Mac, Mono and other non-Micorosoft stuff.

Trust me! Microsoft world is much better and Visual Studio IDE is the best. Everything else is crap.

Did I tell you, I hate little icons for close, minimize, and maximize applications. Wonder if you can make them larger? I will let you know if I find out how to do it.

Cheers!
