How it works?

This tutorial has a triple combo:

Monogame stuff instead GDI/GDI+
Monogame stuff rendered on standard Winforms PictureBox control
Monogame stuff coded in VB.NET instead C#

Need Monogame installed on my rig to compile the source-code?

Technically no. Monogame is attached to solution as NuGet Package. And Content pipeline are "precompiled" to Content\bin\Windows\ folder

How the precompiled content is moved to debug\release output folder?

There is a PostBuild event on solution with this code:

Code 
echo "Deleting previus Content Folder..."

rd "$(TargetDir)Content"

echo "Creating Content Folder..."

md "$(TargetDir)Content"

echo "Copying Content Files..."

xcopy "$(ProjectDir)Content\bin\Windows\*.*" "$(TargetDir)\Content" /Y /I /E

That postbuild event copy the precompiled content to your debug\Content or release\Content folder

That's nice. Give me the source-code!

Yes, sir:

Enjoy :)

Edited: highly recommended running the source code with headphones...
