What do you mean? I can compile exe with MonoDevelop C# compiler
Jump to PostWell as an example I have a Form1. Its got some buttons, a textbook ect. I want something that will let me actually put the .exe as a control(or something) ON THE FORM.
Do you mean pressing the button will launch exe?

No I don't actually want the exe to be launched when an event happens. I want it to be on the form. Like how you drag a button to a form you can put the exe on there too.

C# magic? AFAIK, that is impossible. Treating exe like widget? No way.
Mya be some expert here will say something

Although it is partially possible, its not a good idea for a thousand reasons. Find another way to accomplish your goal.
