Working on a project that requires two computers is complex for me currently. I need to wait for the only other windows computer to become available in the house.

Although in the mean time I’m just taking the time to learn WinForms since someone lent me a book for it. I know WPF is better but I’m not interested in learning it at the moment. WinForms will do all I need it to.

Couldn't you virtualize the second computer on the one you have available ? (that is, if my understanding that you need simultaneous access to two computers isn't wrong)

@CptFox I want to avoid using a vm

@Bubbles Why?

@Bubbles do you want or need the characteristics of a real network? In that case I would simply use a cheep ass one from Amazon or eBay. But I did it back when I used to tinker with XP, so... Whatever suites your needs. But getting into wpf is more worthwhile than winForms.

@p100sch I’m aware of how much better it is but as of right now I have a good book for it and I’m gonna use it, I’ll eventually try to get a WPF resource/book

@alexbrooklyn I just don’t want to set up a VM on my laptop rn and I’d have to setup a windows environment and fuck that

@Bubbles I don't mean to tell you what you have to do, just know that learning Win Forms wouldn't get you any advantages, except for legacy code management. I started some projects using Win Forms and was quite annoyed when I had to update everything to Wpf to use its functionalities and some libraries. If you'll never touch it again in the future you'll be fine.

@p100sch I’m not planning on using it professionally. I assist a programming class and they use it, but I also thought it was a good opportunity to rate the book and teach myself how to make a GUI in C#.

If I do use it it’s gonna be for my own projects or something simple stuff, but the only other time is to help my class with it and so I won’t be completely in the dark about it.

I honestly just hate how much it does for me, I wanna get my hands dirty but it’s doing so much of the work for me.
