  1. Microsoft should just give up and let Windows Forms run on Linux officially. It already can with Mono.

  3. Namespaces and Partial Classes in C# Tip #29 In this video, we explain how namespaces and partial classes work in C#, especially within Windows Forms applications. Learn how Visual Studio splits form code across files and why matching namespaces is crucial for building your UI and logic cleanly.

  4. I've recently seen a poorly accessible #WindowsForms app. Disclaimer: WindowsForms, although it's old, is my favorite way of developing Windows apps. It's sweet to write in (for most part), it's reasonably fast, and it's accessible out of the box because it uses native or near-native controls.
    What did I learn? If you want your app to be inaccessible or you have really bad development habits, no framework will help you.

  6. Everyone has parts of themselves that are kept private. For some, it's too mundane and boring for social media. For me, it would make me cooler and more based, but instead I posture myself as more understated and only barely allow a glimpse of that aspect of myself where doing so is unavoidable or doesn't spill too many beans. In other words: I'm cooler than you think. I do probably have mental issues as evidenced by writing a plug-in #WindowsForms theme engine because I was bored, though.

  8. We should reject modern #GUI libraries and return to #WindowsForms . It worked great.

  10. I updated my example #Powershell #WindowsForms #GUI creation script:

    gist.github.com/aeveltstra/2da

    It shows how to create a graphical user interface with Windows.Forms (dotnet) in Powershell.

    The update added the ability for the font to adapt to the user's font theme and size changes in Windows. It's silly, really: Windows.Forms should do that by itself. But it doesn't, so every programmer has to be aware and make it happen. #accessibility #ux

  12. I created a sample form for #MSWindows using #dotnet #windowsforms via #powershell:
    gist.github.com/aeveltstra/2da

    The most difficult thing about this script was to get the form and the tab control to size to their contents. That doesn't happen automatically. At Powershell level, the control size appears to have a Height and Width property that can be set. That is not the case on my Powershell and Windows 10 Pro. I had to create a System.Drawing.Size object and assign that to the size property.

  14. It would be nice if #WPF had as good of text rendering as #WindowsForms does on 96 DPI displays, particularly with dark themes. That's one of the reasons I prefer Windows Forms, besides the fact that it's lighter and simpler to work with to just get stuff done. You can see an example of this in the #VisualStudio Installer program, I use it in light mode because it's unusable in dark mode.
