Greif 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2016 Is it on the road map to migrate the code-base to use .NET core? Taking advantage of the multi-platform benefits? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Brewster 1,237 Report post Posted September 22, 2016 Nope. Multi-platform runtime does not mean a multi-platform framework. WinForms will still be Windows-only, as will all of the Windows-specific code in Paint.NET. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Brewster 1,237 Report post Posted November 2, 2018 BTW this has changed from a "nope" to a "maybe / hopefully / I want to", especially since the announcement of .NET Core 3 including support for WinForms and WPF. And the fact they already have Paint.NET running "in the lab" on .NET Core 3 as per Richard Lander's blog post, https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2018/05/07/net-core-3-and-support-for-windows-desktop-applications/ 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joshua Lamusga 221 Report post Posted November 2, 2018 Readers should note that WinForms and WPF in .Net Core 3 will still be Windows-only, so updating to it won't make Paint.NET multi platform. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
