We need to spend some time to modernize the WinForms Item templates.
We got especially a series of Item templates like the AboutBox whose code is not only not up to coding standards, it's also using obsoleted APIs, which bumps up the overall priority.

  • Modernize the general C# WinForms project template
  • Modernize the general VB WinForms project template
  • Modernize the C# AboutBox Item template
  • Modernize the VB AboutBox item template
  • ...

@Olina-Zhang: Can you check for issues we have already in that area, and then consolidate them here?

Thanks!

We have some existing designer issues about AboutBox item template, related its designer code, see: https://github.com/microsoft/winforms-designer/issues/5223, https://github.com/microsoft/winforms-designer/issues/5420, https://github.com/microsoft/winforms-designer/issues/5419. Do you mean these can be fixed in runtime? Do we need to convert these issues in here?

About Modernize the general C#/VB WinForms project template you listed here, we have an issue: #8350 with fixed and closed, what is the difference?

I wonder if there is a way to gather data about how in-use these are in newer projects?
