C# or VB.NET or MS Access with Winforms still exists and you can still use it, but you wouldn't for anything more than a personal toy.
I don't think you can do anything nowadays that replicates the VB style of interface design. That was completely tied to a fixed layout and only a few desktop screen sizes, but everything these days needs screen size responsiveness from mobile to 4k. And you also need cross platform, accessibility to screen readers, language localization, dark mode, and so on. A flowable and styleable layout just works better for everything, and runs in the HTML/HTTP client that every device already has. Sadly the VB style of design was a temporary waystop and not an enduring norm. I guess the closest you could do would be a big HTML table and just let the small screens scroll biaxially painfully.
