It’s been a busy time for .NET Core – we just shipped 3.0, and are currently working on a few updates for v3.1 (due in November.) As we turn our attention to .NET Core 5.0, we want to take a step back and see what you are doing with .NET Core and how we can make it even better.
We have put together a quick survey that will help us understand our customer base a bit better, how you are using .NET core, and what we can do to improve it. So please head over to Survey Monkey and help shape the future of .NET Core.
Surveys help give us a breadth view of .NET Core users, but we also want to understand in more depth what challenges you face in your projects, so if you are willing to participate in more detailed feedback, please provide your contact details in the survey.
Thank you for your contribution.
What is the point of conducting the survey(s) when MS is not going to implement what real developers are asking? E.g.
1. VB.NET developers are asking for FULL .NET CORE support but roadmap shows something else.
2. Make WEB development as simple as possible but the current trend of MVC/MVVM/RAZOR architecture is becoming too complex to maintain for large projects.
3. Provide WinForms like WYSWYG designer and development environment for WEB projects
4. Android development...
How about move ASP.NET Web Forms forward instead of leaving its developers high and dry. I would put this in the survey, but, you already closed it.
Full and completel WPF integration with OPENGL rendering for greater portability, and full integration and standardization of GPIO calls in the .NET Core
It would be wonderful to be able to program both a game and a sales system, as well as programming for an SBC using its GPIO pinouts. And port .NET CORE to as many platforms as possible, including web.
As it is just my hobby, I hate to have to learn new programming...
It’s .NET 5 and not .NET Core 5.
You are confusing yourself, now imagine the general public.
How about allow (I don’t care if it’s a IIS issue or .NET Core issue or even ASP.NET Core issue) but allow multiple ASP.NET Core applications In-Process mode running on the same App Pool.
Oh look, yet another useless survey. Hey guys, you know when one of your surveys will actually be worth filling out?
WHEN YOU IMPLEMENT THE TOP REQUEST TEN YEARS RUNNING.
And if you don’t already know what it is
1) That proves my point
2) A cross platform UI application framework
I feel you 👍.
To me, what’s most frustrating is the lack of a response.
A cross platform UI application framework which supports Windows 7 SP1+ and Debian 9+.
It is very likely that MS will drop Windows 7 SP1 support in upcoming .NET 5 and it will stop many users from using it.
Actually, I think they are working on possibilities that enable this scenario. During DOTNETCONF someone showed a demo of a future version of VS with support for building and debugging a desktop app using Blazor and Electron, essentially giving you just this: cross-platform UI (desktop, mobile and web) all in one.
I for one would LOVE to see this make it into the product. Makes sense to use web tech. It's ubiquitous and performant, so why...
Who knows about Wisej ? Wisej is a WEB framework to be used into the VStudio IDE, and behaves like winform developments, including debugging possibilities.
Simply said, they have recreated all the items of the VStudio toolbox to generate JavaScript in the browser. You drag and drop the toolbox items on your form and use what ever .NET code you want in the code behind. Exactly the winform concept.
The generated single page Web App...
BTW, Blazor needs one small step to make it work on native devices, and it’s on the radar:
https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore/issues/11082
But I am cool with having .NET work in a browser, which is the most important/valuable/cost-saving goal ATM until then.
Technically speaking, there are two viable options already:
1) Blazor -- This is more of a web-based approach and doesn't appease to the Xaml crowd.
2) Uno -- More Xaml-based but isn't really an authoritative MSFT offering which is what everyone is after.
I myself am cool with Blazor and am getting into it. Sure it's not Xaml, but I do not think we're getting a viable replacement for Silverlight/WPFEverywhere anytime soon. Uno is...
LULZ… I just noticed:

Exactly. 117 votes and counting. 😉

I guess the point is… you keep asking us to jump through your survey hoops, but you already have a hoop that you’ve asked us to jump through with your feedback apparatus, which you do an obviously fine job of ignoring via said survey requests.
Oh, and what about your god-forsaken asynchronous programming model?

And while I am at it… how about fixing this blog: https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/idea/595756/fix-your-blog.html
Ahahah ! Exactly 👍👍👍
Agree. There are two “precedents” for a cross-platform WPF. Silverlight ran in MacOs. And though JavaFX was another breed of beast, it couldn’t have been so different in the core.
Lol that´s what i replied in the survey as well..
I get that they can´t port WinForms easily, as it is tighly integrated with Win32API, but WPF / UWP should be possible and could benefit a lot of devs..
For example small UIs on IOT Devices / Status Monitors and so on.
UWP is not working on Windows 7 SP1.
WPF would be a better choice.

Pretty sure it’s .NET 5, no “Core” anymore…?
