Welcome to MonoGame.Forms!

MonoGame.Forms is the easiest way of integrating a MonoGame render window into your Windows Forms project. It should make your life much easier, when you want to create your own editor environment.

Tips & Tricks / Dos & Don'ts

The OpenGL version of the library currently renders differently than the DirectX one, which makes it generally slower. If you need as much perormance as possible, you should definitley use the DirectX library.

• Boost performance of a custom OpenGL control by raising its DrawIntervall with the property window during design time (try 50ms or 100ms. 1ms aims to 60 fps)
• Never use DoubleBuffering on a custom control. This counts for the OpenGL library as well as for the DirectX library! It will cause flickering and slow downs.
