Looks like that library was a precursor of Prism: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19657492/is-microsoft-practices-composite-earlier-version-of-microsoft-practices-prism[^] What's New in Prism Library 5.0 for WPF | Microsoft Learn[^] The latest version of Prism should work in .NET 6: GitHub - PrismLibrary/Prism: Prism is a framework for building loosely coupled, maintainable, and testable XAML applications in WPF, Xamarin Forms, and Uno / Win UI Applications..[^] NuGet Gallery | Prism.Wpf 8.1.97[^] However, I've never used either library, so I have no idea how easy it will be to update your application.

depends on upper class methods, whether oos, or objs. Perls, or methods outside the class, are concurrent.

Thanks. He's got a 2nd Edition coming on 12/2. I'll lwait till then If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

How often do they upgrade windows? Leaving it as is runs the risk of, at some point, your software will fail in some odd way or not run at all because of updates to windows. However updating also runs the risk that will not run on older versions either. These days older apps also have an increased security risk. Or at least it is perceived that way. So it is possible at some point that something (like a virus checker) might flag the app for something. Which makes customers nervous. You might also want to validate how exactly your build process works. If you are expecting to be able to download libraries (specific versions) any time you want at some point that might no longer be possible. You can address that keeping the libraries in your own source control and download nothing. Besides the customers the primary way is to look for "end of life" for anything. Could be operating system, libraries, hardware etc. For the version you specified above the date is April 26, 2022. It is unlikely anything will fail now. But you probably don't want to still be waiting 5 years from now. Microsoft .NET Framework - Microsoft Lifecycle | Microsoft Learn[^] If you have customers that do not upgrade then you will also need to plan on continuing supporting them. Note that this also means that you will need to have hardware and operating system that you can both test on and develop on. Keeping in mind however that even if it is good money maker at some point even they will find it difficult to keep running with the old equipment. Although some people are very ingenious at finding sources.

Uno 4.6, CoreWCF 1.0, .Net 7.0, Windows 11, Office 365... BINGO!!! :doh: :doh: :doh: 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 use "ethernet over powerline" to connect devices I don't connect directly with a cable or wifi. That's been working fine for everything (e.g. streaming). "Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen.

Mark Stars post inspired these additional thoughts. Try a different port on the switch, Try a different cable (if you are plugged into modem and still have problems)

You need to change the requestTimeout property on the aspNetCore element instead: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <system.webServer> <aspNetCore requestTimeout="00:02:00" .../> </system.webServer> </configuration> "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer

Everyone here is being great. Thanks for keeping this open and civil and not personal. :thumbsup: cheers Chris Maunder

If you want to completely tick off your coworkers. String fred = "The text"; Bah! Too much work to make really ugly code. I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

If you're migrating, you might want to move to something that will be supported for more than two months: .NET and .NET Core official support policy[^]: .NET Core 3.1 End of Support: December 13, 2022 Currently, the "long-term support" (LTS) version is .NET 6.0, which is supported until at least November 12, 2024. Also, you forgot to explain what the problem is with your code. There's nothing obviously wrong with it.

[edit] I had written the response below before I noticed that other folks had already replied with similar stories. [/edit] trønderen wrote: I guess that source code files were stored as plain text, using the selected set of word symbols, right? So you couldn't take your source file to another machine, with other concrete mappings, and have it compiled there. That is correct - the source code was hand punched onto cards (80 column). I got quite adept with the multi-fingering buttons for each character. You then put the box of punched cards into a holding area where someone would feed them to the card reader (hopefully without dropping them and random sorting them). Then the job was run and you got a line printer listing delivered to the same holding area (where, hopefully, your card deck was also returned to) - this is the first time that you can see what the texts were that you had written. At University, the turn round time was 1/2 a day; at my first full time job it was nearer a fortnight; so computer run times were an insignificant part of the round-trip time. Before Uni, I had to do coding sheets which were posted to the computer centre (round trip one or two weeks). This added an extra layer of jeopardy - would the cards be punched with the texts written on the coding sheets? The answer was almost invariably 'No' for at least three iterations; so the first run (enabling debugging) could be six weeks later than the date that you wrote the program.

They are doing it gradually. I don't know of anyone who has made Windows 1.0 work on a modern x64 chip. I managed to get Windows 2.1 "sort of" get up and running - but my CPU is a 5th generation i7-5820, and most applications, even old ones, failed. I guess Windows 3.x will be next to go, then Windows 95 and Windows 98. Maybe even XP. When all of those fail to run on modern CPUs, it is time to drop x86 support. For IoT devices, we can run a 386 VM under Windows 11 on that IoT chip. Some CP members are extremely good at handling IoT chips; I am sure they can handle this as well. I was programming IoT software on an eight bit 8051 CPU less than ten years ago, but the chips were sold for several years after that (with no software updates). Today, the 8-bit chips are not visible in the marketing, but I wouldn't be surprised if old customer can still have them delivered.

OK thanks. I'll take a look If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.
