it seems to be the whole point of this new feature! 
and I thought to myself, this is exactly what you were complaining about! They were eavesdropping on us!

As someone who (still) works with WinForms, I was interested to read:Quote: The Windows Forms designer is still in preview, and available as a separate download. It will be added to Visual Studio as part of a later release. The designer currently includes support for the most commonly used controls and low-level functionality. We’ll keep improving the designer with monthly updates. We don’t recommend porting your Windows Forms applications to .NET Core just yet, particularly if you rely on the designer. Please do experiment with the designer preview, and give us feedback.
You can also create and build desktop applications from the command line using the .NET CLI.

See, they haven't forgotten you! 
Though I would say, give WPF a try!

I thought I was the only one still using Winforms

I use it too.
I haven't found anything easier or more straightforward when I want a quick Windows program that just does something without me having to learn 6 new weirdly-named frameworks and 7 new ways of doing old familiar things.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

So, it looks like all the 3 who uses Winforms are on CP. The circle is now complete.

The caveat is that WinForms, even in .NET Core, is still Windows only.
The "only" benefits you get is a performance improvement and you can run applications without the need of having the .NET Framework installed on the client Windows computer (which is pretty sweet).
If you want to make use of Core packages, like Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore, Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration(.*) or Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection you can just keep your current .NET Framework application as all of those are built on .NET Standard and will run in .NET Framework as well.
I just inherited a WinForms application, but it'll be a while before I port it to .NET Core.

Thanks, Sandor, I am aware of the Win-only limitation; I was just trying the new flavor out from curiosity.

I remember reading a few years ago that he had to put together some Kickstarter type of campaign to raise money for cover his medical issues because the guy was essentially broke. For someone who had a recurring role on a Star Trek series, that's downright embarrassing.
[Edit]
Just to be clear, I mean Paramount, not him, should be embarrassed. As an actor, the guy was probably just grateful to get any work at all.

I'm in need of a system that will track a box through different locations. For instance, I have a box of documents, and I want to know its current location. So far, I've thought of creating a QR code label for the box. Then we can have employees scan this code from different locations. But how would this help if the same QR code is being scanned from each site?
Any other ideas? Thanks!

I worked at a company that did exactly that with Mail. Hit me up if you wanna discuss.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

The scanning station appends/prepends a location code to the bar code. That gives you a unique Location/Document id.

What problem do you actually have?
|

You could ask Amazon.
I'd rather be phishing!
|
|
|
|
|
The box/qr code is in a database, each time the qr code is scanned, the location and time are entered in the database.
I'd rather be phishing!

|
|
You could also eliminate the employee (unreliable creatures they are) and use RFID tags and auto scanners in the in/out points of a location.

One thing with RFID we had trouble with: every time an item even shifted position a little bit within a location, the dang thing would get pinged again. Obvious ways to deal with that, but still a pita.

To find this system you must look outside the box ... and, think about where on CodeProject is the appropriate place to post a request like this.

Firstly, this is the lounge!
Secondly, anything that starts "I have an idea for a project" generally doesn't end well, in my experience. Sounds like your company has a problem with knowing where documents are. Fine; then analyse the problem, the business, the people, and come up with a solution. (extreme e.g. don't move the documents, move the people who need them; people generally know where they are!) If the solution involves IT, then ask a question in the appropriate forum.
