Windows.Forms in ASP code-behind

I thought I posted this an hour ago, but don't see it. I'm sorry if
it's shown twice.
Hello, recently I was working on a project where I needed to automate
PDF generation. I found two open source libraries that I liked, but
the best one required the Windows.Forms class to be used in the C#
code-behind. When I tested the library, this worked fine in Visual
Studio 05.

What I was wondering was, are there performance concerns or security
concerns in using the Windows.Forms library in an ASP.NET website?
Will using it impact my scalability? All thoughts are welcomed, thank
you.

I'm no expert but I can't see why it would have any impact. It isn't
needed on the client, only the server. It's just like any other dll
that you might need a reference to. It's part of the framework.

How do I check in a Windows Forms app if any controls have changed? I have a form that collects data, and I want to prompt the user if they try to exit the app, or load a new file, without saving changes that have been made. In MFC/Win32, you'd trap the WM_COMMAND/EN_CHANGE notification messages, etc. But, this doesn't seem to happen in Windows Forms. I tried Spy-ing a windows forms app, and the WM_COMMAND messages don't even get sent...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
