Added assembly metadata (title, description, company, product, copyright, version) to Base.vbproj. Removed redundant assembly attributes from AssemblyInfo.vb, leaving only trademark, ComVisible, and GUID. This centralizes assembly information in the project file and streamlines AssemblyInfo.vb.
Replaced several .NET Framework references in Base.vbproj with .NET Core-compatible NuGet packages, including Microsoft.AspNetCore.SystemWebAdapters, System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager, and multiple CoreWCF packages. Removed direct references to assemblies such as System.Web, System.ServiceModel, and DigitalData.Modules.Logging. This modernizes dependencies and improves cross-platform compatibility.
Converted Base.vbproj to the SDK-style project format targeting net8.0-windows, enabling Windows Forms and implicit usings. Replaced direct assembly references and packages.config with PackageReference for NLog and NuGet.CommandLine. Removed legacy property groups, redundant references, and unnecessary compile/include entries. Deleted the obsolete packages.config file. Retained the post-build event and essential project metadata. This update streamlines project management and aligns with modern .NET practices.
