Well, I guess I'd better start porting stuff over to a different technology.
I'm using VS 2010 and our business will be using Windows 7 for the foreseeable future.
Should I jump up to VS20XX and port over to whatever?
This stuff doesn't need to be on the web - I'm sure I don't know where to go with this one.
I definitely don't want to do HTML.
Thoughts?

Stuck on Windows 7? Then WPF and click once?
Otherwise WinRT seems promising for the desktop on Windows 10 and is quite a similar API (WPF->Silverlight->WinRT all are very similar in spirit)

What version of VS do you think would be a good place to be right now?
Can I do development for Win 7 in the latest version of VS?
Windows forms?
I've only just begun to look into these things.
Guess what I'll be doing over the next year.

WPF, Winforms (although I wouldn't recommend this for any green field development), and web all work in the latest version of VS and can be deployed down to any supported version of Windows.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I'm thinking;
Change out the sea water lift pump early 1Q15
Align the TR dampers u/g with the accom u/g on a per wing basis.
Shift the XV c/out on the crude pump to the 1H MP W/wash
Align the Lub Console upgrade to the MP 2H w/wash
but have a feeling that wont help you much decide...

I've considered that strategy but I've read some accounts of O-rings going bad well before people have had a chance to get around to the 1H MP W/wash. I'm not willing to work weekends to keep up with that nightmare.

Is there any actual problem with continuing to use silverlight?
|
|
|
|

I'm starting to get spooked.
Microsoft is setting their browser to block all old versions of Silverlight.
I'm on 5, but will I be able to run Silverlight in Windows 10?
All of this used to be so easy and now Microsoft is messing it up.

I hear you, but just stop fighting and learn the horrible mess UI of the future, which is HTML+CSS+JS.

Why should the future be worse than the present?
That's usually not how progress works..

Why not? Progress is not linear. Civilizations rise and fall. The fact that something is more technologically advanced does not mean it will win.

But this isn't just happening automatically or through inaction. Someone somewhere made the conscious choice to make the future worse on purpose.

I'm actually working on an exit strategy.
I'd rather leave programming than work with the HTML stack.
I need to last about 40 more months.

You are not afraid to admit it

Take it from someone who is in exactly the same position, move to WPF and clickonce. I have found that you can cut and past your views from SL to WPF with a minimum of fiddling. I moved a small app (14 views) in less than a week and that was the first one so there was a little research involved.
I've been dipped into the current HTML/JS/CSS development stack and it still feels like being dipped in sh*t. Having said that I can't see any viable option to MVC/SP development if you need a web interface, you have no idea how thoroughly pissed off I am with MS.
As MS has mooted 2020 as the retirement horizon you may be Ok with 40 months, I am looking at the same time frame and I'll walk away from the whole banking industry!

Be afraid, very afraid. Just don't admit it!

I've got to admit that I was afraid you'd say that.
One day I aspire to having a signature.

I am afraid of your fear of admittance of admitting that you are not afraid to admit that admitting makes you afraid, but I shan't admit it since I am too afraid!!!
I am also afraid of long sentences.
