I started programming before OWL existed (my first IDE was Turbo Pascal for CP/M on an Apple //e back in the early 80's). I went through Pascal (OWL), C++ (MFC), and then C# (WinForms, and currently WPF). I refuse to code for WinUI, simply because I have no desire to learn it. It took me a while to accept WPF (and I fought it HARD), but I find it easy to do (easier than WinForms in a lot of ways). I do all of my design work in the XAML editor (you can drag from the Toolbox pane to the XAML to get a new control on the page, and intellisense guides you when you start changing properties in the XAML, so it's not TOO bad). After two years away from desktop apps, I spent the last weekend doing a WPF version (proof of concept) of our web app from work, and the hardest part was making the app allow the user to adjust font size with Ctrl+ and Ctrl- like a web browser (we have to comply with Section 508 by allowing the font in an application to be increased by up to 200%). A few years ago, I wrote a custom message box library that allows the developer to specify text size and custom colors (among other features), and with a little tweaking, my message boxes use the increased font size.

I've just seen you post, so sorry for the late reply. The answer is yes, you can. Blazor WASM (Web Assembly) enables you to do just that. I have written an article recently that demonstrates this with WPF, however WinForms can do the same. Here is the article: Blazing.Mvvm - Blazor WASM & Blazor Hybrid using the Community Toolkit[^] - ignore the fact that the article focuses on MVVM. The key thing for you, in the article, is not only proof of concept, but also how you can interact with the Blazor part from within your WinForms app and vice versa. IT is made possible by the BlazorWebView control. Microsoft have an article that shows you how to host Blazor within WinForms: Build a Windows Forms Blazor app | Microsoft Learn[^]. Be aware though, to do this, you need to work with .Net 7.0+, not .Net Framework. However, if you need to move from .Net Framework to .Net, then your app will receive an immediate performance boost due to improvements made to .Net - no legacy support.

You're welcome.

It happens. There have been times when I've made code changes to a wrong file (a copy of the file with the same name, at a backup location), recompiled the project, only to see that nothing has changed in the execution., then debugged for several hours; only to realize later that the file path is different. Must have happened to several members here.

Hey Dave, You're a lifesaver :) VS had self-added (???) these to the main form: Imports MS.Internal Imports System.Windows.Forms.VisualStyles.VisualStyleElement Libraries in this haven't changed in two years, so I never thought to give this a look. Those two were responsible for all the errors. Where they came from? My only guess is that on Saturday, that computer was in 'update hell'; meaning it had downloaded an update but needed a reboot and I didn't notice it. For unrelated reasons, it runs 24/7. It took three times to get the update flag cleared, and I'm pretty sure I opened the project after the first update said it was done. I should have known better, since I know VS doesn't use the in-memory loaded libraries in update hell, but was doing a few different things on different computers so I missed it. Though in the past, I've never seen it add libraries on its own; it normally throws "missing" errors. Thanks again for the clue. Mike

I always drop all images in the Drop files here box. Sometimes they all publish perfectly. Sometimes they don't. Thanks, Sean Ewington CodeProject

Your code presented as VB, so I replied in kind. C# works the same with minor variances. Graeme "I fear not the man who has practiced ten thousand kicks one time, but I fear the man that has practiced one kick ten thousand times!" - Bruce Lee

Any documentation for this? If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.

And some use to read the book and consider themselves an expert. And even more so they would write a book and then proclaim themselves and expert (and force their students to buy it.) The source of the knowledge doesn't matter as long as learning can take place.

After a test with loaded (I loaded them from a hdd-drive) 3000x3000 images (Same Datatype) it worked fast and without problems. Too much changes

It sounds complicated but it's just using an "acrylic" Brush (available in UWP) instead of a regular "solid color brush" for the background. The same facility can be added to WPF using the "community tool kit". Or you can fake it varying the opacity of the background of a control ... though the "acrylic" brush seems to be a bit more "glassy".
