I think that this might not be the comment that you are looking for but have you tried Visual Basic.net. C# has grown into a multi platform , multi runtime language that can be used to build apps on all version of Windows from 7 to 11, Linux and Mac OS. But if you still want to make apps that only run on Windows machines and uses still supported Windows Forms- then VB.Net might be just what you are looking for. It still ships with Visual Studio and let’s you build multi windows, database centric applications.
