You are welcome.

Thank you!

Our team is the process of understanding the amount of effort to upgrade from .NET Framework to the latest framework. We also use chart for Winforms and haven't found a viable replacement yet. What did you guys end up using for replacing the charts components in Winforms?

@@luis622 I have a series on my channel where I talk about what's available, what I chose, and how to get it to work.

Yep, that was our mistake. I edited the video and it is updating. It will take a bit, but then it should be fixed.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Yeah, that was an editing glitch. I cut it out. The update to the video will process in a few hours, maybe less.

same problem at my company, good question, i think Power BI is a good alternative to SSRS

You are looking to have full control over operating system hardware. I believe your best bet would be WPF. I don't think .NET MAUI has enough control for what you need. However, depending on what you want to do, it might.

The only system Hardware to control is the serial port. For saving data i want a SQL database on a Server. I think about mysql or postgresql. My research so far is that wpf ist very very polished cause of how old it is an is well supported in the future. Maui and blazor is the newer fancy stuff. But i have no problem using wpf with mvvm if this is a good choice.

Thanks for sharing!

Identity changed significantly in .NET 8. I'm not sure yet what the upgrade path looks like.

... forgot to mentioned that I am new and just found you on youtube, subscribed.

It sounds like you need to install the .NET Framework workloads in VS 2022. You probably have to get the SDK for it from Microsoft. On my installation, it doesn't list that as an installable option from the Modify menu. The earliest is .NET Framework 4.6. There is an outside chance that VS2022 doesn't support .NET Framework 4.5. In that case, you would need to upgrade to .NET Framework 4.6 before taking your app to .NET 6 using VS 2022 (you could do it without VS 2022, but it would be harder).

Bummer. Keep at it.

No, that’s not it. Microsoft changed their philosophy. .NET Core (now just .NET) is independent of the operating system so that it can work cross-platform. It works on Mac and Linux as well. Being tied to Windows, .NET Framework cannot be used on anything but Windows. And yes, .NET is independent and can go with the app. You don’t need .NET to be installed on the computer in order for it to run.

Not for the All Access Pass. That does not get a discount ever. It is already discounted ($50/month gets you access to thousands of dollars of courses).

@@IAmTimCorey Hello, when $50/month access will be available? Thanks in advance

Doesn't matter to me tho

I am not sure what you are saying.

@@IAmTimCorey We get a new .NET version every year. In 4-5 years .NET 8 will be a legacy version and you will have to upgrade to .NET 12. I don't think companies will invest on upgrading their projects so often.

This is true of any software. All software has a limited lifespan of support. Microsoft has actually been really generous in their support windows. The best thing, though, about .NET is that the upgrades between .NET versions is often quite easy on the Microsoft side.

@@lolyasuo1235 Depends if you have a server or client software. For server it is easy. Just update the .NET version to the version + 2 every 2 years (LTS branch). Today I would take .NET 8 and in 2 years .NET 10. Just updating the server and recompile the software with .NET 10. On the client it is not so easy as you must rollout a software on maybe 100.000 client machines and more every 2 years.

I mostly agree @chartfreak7451, but I have a question - do you ever come across a situation where you don't give a client application an update for two years (actually 3, since that's the length of the support window)? If you do, do you still consider your application supported?

A new one is coming.

Exactly Jonathan - Tim = Quality Code in my mind.

Agree completely. That’s what got me into Tim. Anymore it’s more about building a bigger following and views as opposed to building a stronger community.

That hasn't changed. If you will notice, I still put out a code video every Monday (and have for years). I also added occasional extra 10-minute training videos on top. The Thursday videos have been my advice videos for three years now. This is an addition, not a replacement. It is about addressing the problems that aren't solved by just writing code. If you approach your career as a developer as just about solving things with code, you will struggle. There is a LOT more to being a developer.

Interesting point. "Don't teach me how to design and build a house, just show me how to hammer nails". Good luck with that.

What part do you disagree with?

Chill. You should first have some respect because of the free content that this man is providing. Creators wants to get feedback, so it should be more constructive. Say what you didnt like and what you would like to see. Also, he has loads of courses on his website, so you might find lots of content there.

It isn't free as such as you make it sound like he is doing this out of the goodness of his heart. He gets paid per view to put the youttube videos up - which is why we get 2 filler videos a week. So 120 filler vids since last year, and Tim gets paid a big fat check - Tim settle this please how much on Average do you get per video ? Many thanks @@filipnikolic2280

I'm definitely not putting content on KZfaq because it makes me money. For example, my video on Complex Objects with Dapper came out a week and a half ago. The initial views generate the most money. That video has earned me $40.02 so far. So after building up my channel to hundreds of thousands of subscribers and putting in the work to be consistent every week with content, I get paid $40 for what took me 5+ hours to research, test, record, and produce. So approximately $8/hour. Let's take it to a bigger picture. In the past 365 days, I have earned $27,344.95 from KZfaq. That is from every ad on every one of my almost 600 videos on KZfaq combined. On average, I spend about 10 hours per week generating content just for KZfaq. That's 500+ hours per year. I then spend another 15 hours per week responding to people like you. That's another 750 hours per year of my time. Not counting any expenses at all, that's an average of $22/hour. That's after I have put in over a decade of work into building up the channel. While that's not bad, it also doesn't go very far. Now, I could make more on ads. A lot more. I turn off all mid-roll ads (KZfaq hate that I do that). I would turn them all off, but they KZfaq would add their own ads and I wouldn't be able to control them (or get any money from them). Over the past 365 days, I put out 128 videos on KZfaq. I also added the C# Projects site ( www.csharpprojects.com/ ) that helps people choose which project type is right for their project. I've also spent a LOT of time working on ways to bring even more value to people for free. Right now, I've put out a few "easier" videos in a row on Mondays because I'm gearing up for the .NET 8 launch and all that it entails. I have to learn all of the new content, report the bugs I find so they can get fixed for launch, identify what content is most helpful to people, and create that content. Quite frankly, I've been head-down working for about a month to get ready for next week. When it comes to the idea that the content I am putting out is designed to build my following in some way as opposed to give actual value, that's ridiculous. First, I produce long-form content a LOT. That's not where the views are. Second, I don't just tease paid content (that's how I could drive sales, though). I create full training videos that are valuable for the real world (not just fun tutorials that don't actually help you). Third, the Dev Questions series isn't about views. If you notice, they are typically lower than my Monday videos. What they are there for is to help answer the questions people have that no one seems to be answering. And yes, people are requesting these videos. The suggestion site is overflowing with questions and topics that I'm working hard to get to. If I wanted to boost the channel and just "get paid", I would do two things. First, I would start creating click-bait titles with filler content. Second, I would start taking the money from all of the advertisers that are banging down my door. Would you like to hear about the VPN I could offer you? The special gaming chair? The standing desk? The software from some random company? My goal is to create real-world content that actually helps developers. I'm not going to back away from that. I'm leaning in to it. As for the Suggestion Site app being a year ago, yep, I'm aware. I did have a potential course like that lined up, with a sponsor to fund making it free (you realize that's what I use my sponsor money for, right? To give more stuff away). However, the deal fell through. Taking on a course like that is expensive and time-consuming. I'm hoping to start one in the new year. Oh, and by the way, those courses are also terrible for views since people don't want to pick something up in the middle. Yet I have multiple free courses here on KZfaq.

It's a very strange world where people pay absolutely nothing, but for some insane reason feel entitled to get exactly what they want. For free. And on top of that, they get upset when YT dares to show ads in an attempt to get money to pay the creators who put in many hours/days of effort and years of experience, and instead they use ad blockers so the creator gets even less. And they call YT and creators greedy for doing the exact same thing that they themselves do every day: do whatever they can to increase their income. Very strange.

Hey Tim (& co) - thanks for what you do. I have learned a lot from your free videos and I also have purchased several courses. (More purchases coming up). Absolutely top notch. You can’t please everyone, but you have pleased multitudes. Thank you again and hang in there.
