For those not interested in hearing about WinForms migrations and other topics irrelevant to the title of the video, jump to 8:25... to skip the intro and get to Why Core Forms, go to 15:18, go to how, 23:47

This is definitely the kind of product that should be included with Visual Studio for upgrade and would benefit a lot being opensource. Hopefully Microsoft can help

[DanRibar]

how does this work in a VB environment? Our webforms app is all written in vb.

I want to know if the report viewer would work OK. I can see the Telerik worked so entirely possible the viewer would work. Barring that the only thing that would prevent is lack of Linux.

Here’s the issue with this that I’m worried about. If I stick with .NET Framework, I should be good until 2040, that’s just long enough that I should be freshly retired before Web Forms finally loses support from Windows Server. But Microsoft only supports .NET Core versions for like 2 years. If I migrate to this, and then the guys behind it stop developing it, I’m screwed once Microsoft drops support for .NET Core 7, which they will very soon. This needs to be an open source project. Start a patreon, I’ll pay you guys. You’re doing the lord’s work, and I support it, I’m just concerned about hitching my wagon to something that might become abandonware and end up unsupported sooner than the .NET Framework would have.

Can someone please tell me at what point I should watch... Have up after the first 15 mins

Help the people, the world, and the open source community by charging money. I have nothing against making money, and if they had put a link to support the authors, I would gladly do so, but this should really be free, so that people from the community can contribute and make it better.
