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.
