After a very long wait for Microsoft to work all the bugs out of the latest WinForms for .NET, it seems to finally be here. For AdvancedHMI, this means a major update to the .NET 8.0 framework.
The update has been about 80% done and tested with decent results. So far the chart controls were the greatest challenge because the chart component that used to be part of the .NET framework has been removed. Thankfully it was all open sourced and the community has updated it.
The next big challenge are the COM components which consists of OPC-DA and one of the TwinCAT drivers.
A beta version may be available as soon as by the end of the month. It will be posted in the members only section. It will requite the latest update of Visual Studio 2022.
