WebForms are one of those things people either love or hate. I've been using them since 2008 and am comfortable with the model. I've been exploring the newer models like Blazor and Razor, but they feel like a modern version of Classic ASP which turns me off a bit.
Another developer here wants us to switch to MAUI or Uno, but I don't see the point as we don't do mobile apps.
I bought a Mac exclusively for my music, and the hardware is good, but their software is just as buggy as anyone's.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I'm a huge fan of Razor pages. They are essentially webforms for .NET Core in my mind. I just really wish I could move to .NET Core with WebForms but the whole System.Web thing seem to have scarred the .NET team to the core.
It's funny when we went from ASP -> ASP.NET and all the "never inline server side script blocks!" to Razor which demands "server side" script blocks. Do this! Don't do this! Do that other thing! Now do the old thing again!
Head spins.

Out of curiosity, why running VS virtualized instead of running your dev environment native & merely using virtualized Windows as a debug target?

I want to see if I can have an Apple silicon mac as my main machine

Hang on in there Chris:
Visual Studio on ARM powered devices - Visual Studio (Windows) | Microsoft Docs
17.3 Preview 2 release of Visual Studio 2022 will include support for Windows 11 on Arm64! This version of Visual Studio will run natively on Arm64, giving developers the ability to build and debug apps directly on Arm64-based Windows 11 devices. Checkout the release blog to learn more.
Apparently (according to that release blog), it's coming Real Soon Now.
Also (I believe) you can build for an ARM target on an X64 host and then copy your binaries and PDBs to the Mac for debugging (I do something similar with Xcode).

I have a MacBook Pro M1 Max 32 GB 16 Core and then I set 16 GB 8 CPU to my Win11 on Parallel VM.
My experience with the legacy project and VS 2022 was similar. Those project has too many files inside the solution. However I don’t feel this is loading faster.

I run on Macbook Pro 2019 (16gb RAM, 1tb SSD, 8 core i9 Intel). I use parallels extensively. I work in Windows but live in Mac.
I have thought the Apple Silicon issue over and over, regarding what I'm going to do when I make the jump. I think the best solution until MS is more mainstream on Arm is to use Windows 365 Cloud PC. I administer AVD (Azure Virtual Desktop) for a large U.S. government entity now. It works very well.
It is a bit pricey ($30/month ish) but is probably the best alternative to having another PC.
Just thought I'd put this out there to give folks another option to consider.

Yes - the cloud desktop is certainly a neat but pricey option. Pity it requires a decent connection to use (so no good travelling or where you have a bad connection)

Where does the time go?
I've been here a while now - nowhere near you of course - but it seems like yesterday when I found the site, even though it's changed considerably since then.

Friends; a few have drifted away and a couple have passed.
Other than that the place is pretty much the same old; pleasurable, aggravating place!
And as to the soapbox, yes and no!

Seems about right. But 20 years ago, it wasn't lame ass!

A good 11 years for me already 
I've been doing this for 12 years and signed up on CP after about half a year 
I remember reading an article by HenryMinute, who unfortunately passed away.
After reading it I signed up to ask him a question about it and he answered pretty quickly and was helpful.
My first message on CP and absolutely noob question is right here under this article: Designing Nested Controls[^]

Over 16 years for me...
CP is the oldest Website in my life and I think of it like a marriage (until death separate us).

Hell yeah!! 100% agree

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I've been a "lurker" for many years. Can count on one hand the number of times I've responded/contributed. However, I REALLY appreciate being able to see these posting daily, especially since I've been WFH for the last 3+ years (pre-covid).
I am definitely a "grey beard" started developing with paper tape - almost miss those days, NOT.

I started with puNch cards but it was really expensive for me because I had 2 kids that I had to entertain when I went to computer room and they used a lot of them.
