When is Microslop gonna hire some real developers that can fix the godamn WPF designer? If you do ANYTHING that includes using custom UserControl objects, the designer chokes and pukes, rendering itself completely f*ckin useless...

As WPF is soooo yesterday, probably never!

Microsoft never fixes/develops technologies that outdated (in their opinion)...Today you should step in line and use JavaScript with HTML to create a Metro Modern UI...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

This is a common question, but my personal answer is still the same: the designer is quite useless in the WPF world.
The WPF/XAML framework excels for the templating, binding and high-decoupling system: really no other UI-framework is better. However, if you think to manage the UI by the designer, you probably have still in mind the "old-school" Winforms-like composition, which falls quickly in the famous "big-balls-of-mud".
WPF/XAML outdated tech? I don't agree at all.
They probably will push it off, but only because the majority of people don't want to ask a better UI-framework, and prefer to fight against the HTML anarchic world...
Good luck.

As much as people are saying they won't upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8.1, what are your future computing plans?
Yes, there have been some... not so pleasant... versions of Windows, but it is a prevalent product in the workforce, and, it will just be a matter of time before we are required to upgrade our work computers to something else.
So.. will you stay on Windows 7 until Windows NEXT (whatever comes after 10) is available?
If you work on systems for clients and they are on Windows 10, how will you test/support them?
Not for or against any particular version, just asking question.

Well since MS announced that Windows X will be the final Version that gets updated continouusly i'd personally try to stay on 7 as long as possible to prevent the yearly charge and unpleasant changes of the OS.
The switch will happen when 7 runs out of Support i think, if earlier then because of killer-features 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

They're not going subscription... Updates are still free once you move to X. They're just giving up on charging for version upgrades, and continuing to make money on corporate licenses and the OEM tax.
As for the "unpleasant changes"... Yeah, that's a definite possibility.

I thought they were moving to the Firefox model

they started at X.000000000001.0000000000001 Build 1
if(this.signature != "")

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

At exactly what point do we stop calling them "updates" and start calling them "forced pull requests"?
|

|
|

when MS copyrights that phrase (probably next Tuesday)

I'm not sure yet.
What I'll probably do is a fresh system image, then install 10 and either keep it or restore right back over the top.
Win 8 was so execrable and unloved that MS have got to get it right this time, and they know it. If they get it wrong this time as well it could destroy them in the desktop market.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Overrated. Just one single unwashed rebel comes flying through your bridge window and the ship automatically heads straight towards the biggest thing it can slam into.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
