As far as I am concerned you can toss WPF in the bin. Our customer has terminal server, supporting one of apps which is in WPF using remote desktop can cause a blue screen of death - we can no longer support the custoerm remotely when the app is running. The app will be rewritten back to winforms.
All that fancy graphics stuff is all right for those who like the gimics, but for business to business use give me something that will work all day every day and doesn't require huge amounts of graphics and pc resource. The way the web world is going, it might be hard for WPF to compete anyway. - Stuart On 25 September 2015 at 15:12, Corneliu I. Tusnea <corne...@acorns.com.au> wrote: > Nope. They are dead.
