You are absolutly correct. I have zero experience with it. And from I can see by reading the propaganda, there isn't anything there that makes me think, "I can't do my job without this". As I said earlier, I've been coding for 25 years. I have no trouble at all developing C# WinForm apps, and not one of mu customers has ever come to me & said, "Your app just isn't flashy enough". Like I said in response to Craig, If it ain't broke, I ain't fixing it.
