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.

From 4.0 which released back in 2010 to 8.0 in 2023 . That's a really big jump.

Will it run straight in pi without installing mono?

As far as I know, the WinForm extensions for .NET 8.0 will only target Windows. I haven't tried it yet, but there may be a possibility that AdvancedHMI v8 will no longer run under Mono.

The big push is now for .NET MAUI and Blazer for the UI to be cross platform.
