Well, you can still do that in Visual Studio 2017 with Windows Forms. Remember when when they tried to do the same with Web Forms? What a disaster. I suspect this may have been the reason they moved to declarative UI like WPF but I personally don't buy that approach. Then again, I work on conversational interfaces now where there literally is no UI at all except a textbox and a send button..
- naikrovek 8y agoThe drag & drop web stuff they had worked fine if you didn't need anything that it couldn't provide.
- stuartd 8y agoYeah like 'basic web functionality'. Unless you're happy with a full page refresh every time you click literally anything, And please don't suggest the UpdatePanel as a solution..
- ocdtrekkie 8y agoYeah, I've done a good amount of VS2017, but WinForms is far from recommended these days, and I think VS6 was the height of easy, quick application development. I don't think anyone's come close to making something similar that holds up as well. Someday I'll learn WPF.
