Added assembly metadata such as title, company, product, copyright, and version information to Interfaces.vbproj. Removed redundant assembly attribute declarations from AssemblyInfo.vb, consolidating version and metadata management in the project file. This streamlines assembly information and ensures consistency across the project.

Removed several assembly references and package dependencies, including DigitalData.Modules and various System.* packages. Updated package versions for GdPicture (downgraded to 14.2.100), Newtonsoft.Json (upgraded to 13.0.4), and System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe (upgraded to 6.1.2). Added new package references for CoreWCF components and System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager. Cleaned up and modernized project dependencies.
Converted Interfaces.vbproj to the modern SDK-style project format targeting .NET 8.0, replacing explicit assembly references and legacy NuGet package management (packages.config) with PackageReference entries. Removed obsolete and redundant property groups, imports, and manual file includes, streamlining the project structure. This update modernizes dependency management and simplifies future maintenance.
