I’ve been using PiHole for a few years. There are currently about 269k domains in the stock/included lists.
Saw your other post with a link to more lists. Looks like I have something to do this afternoon. Thanks.

Keep in mind that web bloat is happening just on the Internet---It's happening on other things, like commercial TV.
TV now has a standard of 5 minutes of commercials every 10 minutes. Not only do I now have time to go to the bathroom during commercial breaks, I have time to get another beer, drink it and go to the bathroom a second time.
I'm limiting my TV time to 4 hours a day---any more and I'd be an alcoholic.

I've gone from being "amazed" at some of the code that VS suggested, to "laughing" at its inability to grasp the present context quicker, if at all.
I wonder if there will be laws against making AI feel "bad" when we scoff at its efforts.

Looking on how idiotic many laws are... for sure. It actually amazes me, that they are not starting to speak about.

it needs to be done, or I have to scrap my entire project, firmware and all.
I'm writing a bunch of Windows UI code. I hate coding for desktops and servers. I burnt out on it a long time ago, so I like to keep my forays into such endeavors as brief as possible. It brings me no joy, only frustration, even though I know how to do it well. I almost wish I didn't, because then I'd never be roped into doing it.
Worse, this is my own, unpaid project. I'm determined to finish it, but also just sort of upset and overwhelmed because I got ambitious and now I have to code it.
I like tiny devices with kilobytes of RAM. Coding on those is enjoyable. Not so much PCs. PCs can get bent.

I'm working to complete my take-over-the-world project which is a combination Windows service and desktop application. I've been working on it on and off for two years, and there's no end in sight. I keep thinking of ways to make it more and more complicated!

If you get stuck let me know. We use a C#/WPF app and several Windows services written in C++/MFC to run our commercial inkjet printing systems[^]. It's an effective architecture for what we're doing. We use TCP/IP sockets for inter-process communication.
This product line started in 2008, and there's no end in sight.

Glad to read that you're doing well.
Any particular reason TCP/IP was chosen over named pipes? Just curious.

TCP/IP sockets let us have a common communication mechanism with non-Windows equipment, like PLC's, microcontrollers, and such.

Edit:
I'm deleting this as it was ME who screwed up!
Long story short, after updating VS I made some code changes and added a new usercontrol. and then had built the code and see the issue I had previously mentioned.
I was convinced it must have been something I did, so walked back through the code changes I had made in the app, commenting out bit by bit until bingo the problem went away.
What foolish mistake had I made? Well it all boiled down to a recursive paint / draw / refresh loop, that was basically blocking the parent panel from drawing, that appears to explain why it was the controls in that group that were impacted.
Ah well, kept me busy for a few hours on a cloudy day......

In VS 2022 (and others)
Help --> Send Feedback --> Report a Problem
or just go here: Developer Community[^]
I would search first if your issue has already been reported, if not, you really need to report it, especially if this was discovered after a recent update.

I'm not seeing any such problems here: what controls, and what .NET version(s) are in play here?
And do you see the effect in previously compiled apps, or just oned compiled after the update?
I'm currently running 17.3.6, but a quick check says that 17.6.3 is ready to go ...

It is basic Labels and Buttons that don't show correctly on App Startup, thing is, it is not all of them, only some of them! Plus the listbox not rerendering to include new received serial message (except if i resize the form forcing a controls overlap redraw, I haven't finalised the layout yet, so not locked the form size yet, allowing me to force this overlap condition).
It was with .Net 6, but as a test, I also switch the build to target .Net 7 and then re-built and copied the .Net 7 version across to the target machine, installed .Net 7 when prompted then ran the app and it does the same thing.
This is a new utility App I'm writing for the observatory Dome system, the previous App I wrote for the SkyQualityMeter is still working fine, although I think it was built to target .Net 4.8, can't remember now.

Are you saying the IDE editor UI is not showing the controls correctly, or are you saying that your running app has issues? Remember, VS is an IDE, not the runtime - they are independent of each other.

The running app after build and execution.

Then your issue has nothing to do with the VS version.

Could it not be compiling differently under the new version following a new build of the App, depending on what all they have changed/included with this release?
|
|
|
|
|
The compiler is specific to the Framework version, not to the IDE.

Please don't, it's messages like this that allow some of us to think that maybe we are not totally stupid.

Good to hear that you figured it out.
