Except WinForms, spectacular for Windows-only utility GUIs.
- glzone1 11mo agoNo kidding - kind of wild that winforms is still kind of a gold standard experience today! I actually liked VB Forms - lots of easy rapid application development was possible.
- issafram 11mo agoWPF as well
- memsom 11mo agoI like WPF and I code with it regularly, but the drag and drop UI builder was the worst aspect of WPF and generated terrible Xaml that was almost impossible to maintain.
- memsom 11mo agoDelphi was the best RAD tool though. It was native code, not a weird interpreted or jitted app. It could also build to a single exe file. VB struggled with an unwieldy engine for most of its life.
- fuzzzerd 11mo ago> spectacular Not exactly the word I'd use, since it really hasn't changed since VB4, but it's definitely reliable and stable.
- memsom 11mo agoWinForms came way after VB4 and it was a .Net only technology.
- nxobject 11mo agoIIRC, because of Wine, Mono has enough of WinForms to make a few things work. But who the hell wants to distribute an application with a Wine runtime?
- mrweasel 11mo agoI was going to suggest the same, just use WinForms. It's basically feature complete, and it's going to be the last UI framework Microsoft is going to yank out from beneath you.
