Assembly metadata such as title, product, copyright, and version information was removed from AssemblyInfo.vb and added to the ZooFlow.vbproj project file. This streamlines configuration by centralizing assembly attributes in the project file and reduces redundancy. No functional code changes were made.
Removed direct assembly references and added NuGet package references for CoreWCF (Primitives, ConfigurationManager, Http, WebHttp, NetTcp) and System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager. This modernizes dependency management and prepares the project for .NET Core/5+ compatibility.
Converted ZooFlow.vbproj to the modern SDK-style project format targeting net8.0-windows. Removed legacy .NET Framework settings, explicit references, and import statements. Replaced assembly references for NLog with a PackageReference. Updated Windows Forms and desktop settings for compatibility. Cleaned up unnecessary property groups and item includes, streamlining the project file for .NET 8.0 development.
