We kindly ask you for your valuable input on the priorities for modernizing investments that the WPF team should focus on, as outlined in the roadmap document for 2023.

Please use thumbs up (no other emoji responses will be considered to avoid duplication) on options below which you would like us to prioritize.

The .NET Framework 4.8 includes an updated toolset as well as improvements in several areas:

• [Runtime] JIT and NGEN Improvements
• [BCL] Updated ZLib
• [BCL] Reducing FIPS Impact on Cryptography
• [WinForms] Accessibility Enhancements
• [WCF] Service Behavior Enhancements
• [WPF] High DPI Enhancements, UIAutomation Improvements 

Although most of the attention is on .NET Core, development continues on the original .NET Framework. Microsoft has recently released a preview of .NET Framework 4.7.2 with updates to ASP.NET, ADO.NET, WCF, WPF, and even Windows Forms. You can see the complete release notes on GitHub. 

• Accessibility improvements in narration, high contrast and focus control areas
• .NET Framework support for .NET Standard 2.0 and compiler features
• More secure SHA-2 support in ASP.NET and System.Messaging
• Configuration builders
• ASP.NET Execution step feature
• ASP.NET HttpCookie parsing
• Enhancements in Visual Tree for WPF applications
• Performance and reliability improvements 

This repo contains the samples that demonstrate the API usage patterns and popular features for the Windows Presenation Foundation in the .NET Framework for Desktop. These samples were initially hosted on MSDN, and we are gradually moving all the interesting WPF samples over to GitHub.All the samples have been retargeted to .NET 4.5.2.

Well perhaps the first thing to say is that Windows Desktop apps will still work on Windows 10 without any changes. You can even make use of the new Window 10 APIs in a Win32 application and there are improvements in .NET 4.6. Even WPF receives some attention

public class MyContext : DbContext
    {
        protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("MyContext Dispose() is called.");
            base.Dispose(disposing);
        }
    }
