Well, that's your choice but you were implying that despite being 2 decades old .NET still was immature and the example you used to point that out is not relevant in recent versions of .NET. That is what I was referring to.

Brisingr Aerowing responded to you with newer ways of doing what you were trying to do in newer releases of .NET. So if you think about it, what you said is not relevant to modern .NET frameworks.

The issue is with TreeView not accepting a delegate and therefore having to go out of the way to make a class simply so it can hold a method.
And it's a framework issue; not a language issue.
There may be newer ways to do that, but it shouldn't need to be done.
My way at least works on more versions of the language.

Hear, hear, my experiences with WPF are not good either, maybe I'm growing too old for this line of work ...

WinForms does what I need when I need a GUI front-end for something, but I prefer console apps.

It won't be long until it will be the 50th anniversary of landing on the Moon. The last landing was in 1972 and then we just seemed to give up.
Recently everyone seems keen on going to Mars, which is a nice goal... eventually.
Where is the my retirement home on the Moon? Low gravity would be great. No bugs, snakes or home-security salesmen. An afternoon's flying with artificial wings in the Big Dome to pass the time and then home to my relaxing chair in front of the holographic TV showing re-runs of cool, old Sci-Fi movies!
I think we should get the moon-base(s) up and running before going to Mars. Buzz Aldrin agrees with me. What do you think?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I think the technical challenges to putting people onto Mars and getting them home again are so great that we MUST colonize the Moon first to find out how to do it.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

You are assuming that they would bring them home again, it could be a one way trip[^].
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

You can volunteer
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

No, I was thinking of all the Poms, that way they can get as far away from the EU as possible.

Why not just send the EU there.. kind of like in Iron Sky

Oooh yes, Let's turn it into a penal colony like Australia!
(Shipping criminals to the Moon would be even less cost effective than shipping them to Australia. OTOH, given that at the time, the alternative was hanging, I'm not sure the criminals would have agreed with me...)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

We have just been invited to a (free) lunch with a presentation about a "Deluxe, luxurious, elegant, inspiring, blah, blah" retirement complex to be constructed on the moon. 25% discount for early adopters.
Give my your phone number and I will have them give you a call. You can't miss.

After some recent reading, I am gravitating to Titan being a far better colonization bid. They are about equally as hostile but at least Titan has rivers of hydrocarbons on its surface. That means even if catastrophe strikes, you could still be able to light a fire to keep warm with methane from a nearby stream.

Methane? I'll bring my own anyway.

Let's do both! And get the asteroid mines up and running for the resources we need to build the solar energy transfer stations, orbital biodomes, and space-based manufacturing stations.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

One big problem with a moon base, we are too late. If we were going to do it we should have done it before 1999.
