Desktop Apps

Tell me about it! In my 48 years of marriage I have remodeled 3 different homes, 2 in New Orleans and one in Charlotte, one of which I am living in as we speak. And I acted as the general contractor, using various subs to build oue "Dream" home, which I wish now that I had never left. All of this, of course while working 40 to 50 hours a week trying to build my business, and raising a family. :sigh: BTW: I got to meet Jimmy Page once. It was after Led Zepplin broke up. If you leave out the lead solo, I, like almost every other Guitar player of my era, can play "Stairway to Heaven". :rolleyes:
Never let your wife buy a house when you are not there to defend yourself.

Awesome, always really liked their stuff. It's a good thing this house was structurally sound because the rest has been replaced, upgraded, taken to the dump or refinished (wood floors).

Nope, except as Greg said, console apps, mainly small utility apps. At this point, I find web apps simpler to write, and no, I don't use any frameworks, just TypeScript. The HTML still gives me grief at times, but less though than my experience with XAML/WPF.

What on earth is "restructuration"?
Well Hello mister Soul I just dropped by for the reason- Neil Young.
changing the structure of the division, moving people around and giving new tasks.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I have a console program (I refuse to call programs/applications "apps") that downloads spreadsheets from Sharepoint at night. No GUI. They are used to feed a desktop program that tracks/reports quotes. IMO, Office addins are not for the faint of heart.

Slow or simple? Hey! You only get one adjective here at CP! So pick one!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

That's only for the "member" profiles. "Professional" profiles get to pick two, and higher levels get to pick as many as they want.

The point was, as a VS "desktop" developer, you can target all those devices with one code base. The VS "package builder" handles the rest.

I'm rewriting an winforms app I wrote several years ago in wpf. I've not been able to devote a lot of time to it though.

Sure, most of my projects are desktop applications and that is not because I choose it, but because it is required from the clients. It's a long way from being dead

I (mostly) only do desktop apps. Without them, how else would one do web apps?

The funny thing is I did nothing at all! :O I sent 2 job applications, changed my mind.. (there was some miscommunication at work and, well, I really shouldn't have left but it was unclear at the time), then a HR call me with an opportunity (not the one I applied for, I think) and I was like mm... not really interested but sure tell me about it.. and then she said EA Game in Melbourne, for the Frostbite team is looking for a WPF developer.. and I was like... really, sign me in! :O Apparently they are on a hiring spree right at the moment.. and also had trouble finding anyone with WPF experience, lucky me I guess...! :D
