I'm convinced that as long as there is a Windows operating system based on the Win32 API, WinForms cannot die.
It's still the nicest and most productive way to build GUI apps I've seen. Maybe not the prettiest, but it just works.
- scarface74 8y agoNot only will it not die, they are porting it over to .Net Core - Windows only.
- ygra 8y agoYou should definitely give WPF a try. At least for me Windows Forms is way less productive and nice.
- momofarm 8y agoever try QT or popular CEF based (actually, web-based) solution? actually, I'm wondering at current moment, what's the choice of framework / OS to make a productive GUI? or just fire those claimed-designer guy (probally your boss) let engineer do there job?
- thrower123 8y agoFront-end web development of all stripes can burn in a fire, in my opinion; it's got the complication bug, and there's no cure. Unfortunately that's not going to happen, because worse is better, so here we are. QT looks interesting, if I ever had to care about supporting Linux, but that's not my world.
- momofarm 8y agoor how about let's go retro for all, try use command line / ncurse! (.....And of course get cursed by your manager and boss)
