Importing and developing WinForms applications on linux

I have a Visual Studio C# project, with a GUI done in WinForms. I'd like to continue its development on Linux. I have two questions: firstly, how can I compile it on Linux? I can compile single .cs files that use WinForms, but I have no idea about whole projects. Secondly, how can I further edit the GUI, other than by code? is there some editor?

Have you seen MonoDevelop ?

MonoDevelop is an IDE primarily designed for C# and other .NET languages. MonoDevelop enables developers to quickly write desktop and ASP.NET Web applications on Linux, Windows and Mac OSX. MonoDevelop makes it easy for developers to port .NET applications created with Visual Studio to Linux and to maintain a single code base for all platforms.
