The closest you get to having a RAD IDE for WinForms is probably Lazarus, but it's based on Pascal. For BASIC, there's a project called WinFBE which seems to be in active development.

Lazarus is a good call. There's also Winforms 2.0 support in mono, which gives you all major platforms via .NET. You can even use VB.NET with it.

I'd argue that QtCreator is a contender here as well. The forms/widget editor is quite powerful.
