I’m not sure if you guys saw but Microsoft open sourced winforms. I thought it might be useful to fix bugs or add missing controls etc…

Yes, it’s great news. But we only use the base Control for the designer,  the data binding bases, and layout basic engines. We don’t use any of the winforms controls, everything is rewritten from scratch. We already started isolating the data binding and layout code for the mono version instead of using the mono code – which is what Wisej for Linux is using now.

They also announced that they will open the Winforms designer system next year. Also in this case, we only derive from the ControlDesigner and DocumentDesigner. All the control designers are rewritten in Wisej, but having the designer code in Wisej.Framework.Design allows for better integration and more features in the future.
