Quote: I assume there is no real future in WinForms
Heh... dude, if you think like that, programming is not for you - just coding. WinForms is alive and will be alive for as long as Win7 exists. As you guess, cr@p like Win10 just shakes imaging "future OS", but reality is nobody wanna be sheep of MS. So Win7 is the last OS I installed and I feel it will stay for 10+ years AT LEAST.
And of course, overengineered rubbish like WPF will never outperform WinForms. Conclusions are too obvious that you look a bit fool sacrificing WinForms.

No that was my former bossette. She was from Italy and lived well up to that name.

Yeah. I have (by inheritance) some unwished dealings with this elephanted-up so called company Computershare. I call them Computerelephant.
Of all really kr@ppy companies, government agencies, borked up immigration controls, and whatnot else, these elephanting elephanters are by far far the worst. Grauss' dealings with Telstra are like a sunny walk in the park by comparison. (OK only the last one is a slight exaggeration.) They are Aussie too but I am dealing with the Great American branch.
It has been going for years. After many other pains I am stuck here: Now the shares finally are in my name, but it is impossible to sell them. I need to link a bank account to my Computerelephant account. Logical. I need to verify my identity. Logical. So they do this by mail. Logical. I request that mail. Logical. They "send" it. Does it arrive? What do you think. I request it again. They "send" it again. Does it arrive? What do you think. I call them and they mumble this and that. I ask for a super. "Certainly Sir. I will connect you." Connect me to permanent hold. Arrrrrrrghhhh
Everything about this so called company elephanting inhales. Their website is unnavigable. Their service staff is polite but 9/10 speaking total nonsense. Arrrrghh...
Do I feel better after this rant? Not really but whatever.

Sound like you need to inherit from a different baseclass.

True that! But now I am stuck in legacy problems.

For the linkage - perhaps if you opened the new brokerage account and told them to collect your shares? Sometimes the corporate-corporate interface works better.
Or, find out where some of them live . . .

Perhaps I did not. They were there before the aforementioned inheritance.

Telstra is on the Australian governments protected list, along with platypus, echidnas, hairy nosed wombats among others.
I kid you not.

OK - Australia is a big place. Politicians of both sides agreed that everybody should have high speed broadband. They called it the NBN National Broadband Network - Wikipedia[^]. One side wanted to implement the whole thing using optical fibre. The other side wanted to do a hybrid of copper and wireless with a bit of fibre saying it would be quicker and cheaper to do and work just as well. They won. Here we are. It's over time and budget (50 billion A$) and doesn't work.
