only if you need cross platform. WPF is pretty good and WinForms still ain't broken. oh you said strategy .. I think the strategy is wait for something to get popular, maybe something will happen with BlazorWebView
- ourmandave 5y agoWinforms is my 9-to-5. But hHow many new official-way-to-do apps have there been? I've lost count. Actually, what's the current one(s)?
- foepys 5y agoDo not start new projects on WPF. WPF is considered done, meaning no bug fixes whatsoever. There is nobody working on it, not a single person.
- int_19h 5y agoWPF is still used heavily in Visual Studio.
- lloydatkinson 5y agoThis is a ridiculous piece of FUD.
- foepys 5y agoYou say that it's "FUD" but why is point 1 of the roadmap still "Incorporating .NET Framework servicing fixes into .NET Core 3.1, .NET 5 and .NET 6"? It has said this for years now. Nearly all commits are bot commits updating dependencies, some are to keep the CI process up to date, and all others only fix typos or other strings. 2 months ago somebody fixed a few things but no activity since then. Microsoft is trying to transition WPF into a community project as indicated by the current roadmap and I don't see this meaning anything different that them abandoning WPF for good.
