You could also try using IronRuby in Visual Studio 2010. You can
develop using the standard WinForms libraries but you can't use the
visual interface designer like with C#; you have to hand code all your
forms.

There's currently a bug that causes VS 2010 to not know where the
IronRuby interpreter is but if you install NuGet then Install IronRuby
it works fine.

http://ironruby.codeplex.com/releases
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us

Here's what the default WinForms app looks like:

# Code Start #

require 'System.Windows.Forms'

include System::Windows::Forms

class MyForm < Form
  def initialize
    button = Button.new
    button.text = 'Click Me'
    controls.add button
  end
end

form = MyForm.new
Application.run form

# Code End #
