Your link does not work, at least for me.
It's easy to create a WinForms application, even lacking a  designer: you
just need to know about Panels, and the design is just a recursive task. If
you still want a designer, then you should maybe consider using
SharpDevelop:

http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/

...which includes a Windows Forms designer.

If you still want a designer to work with MonoDevelop, then you could
consider the work of one of my students. It is 1) a designer that generates
an xml version of the interface, and 2) a framework which is able to
rebuild an interface from the xml file. The main advantage of this is that
you can change the GUI quite independently of the source code.
