Converted Patterns.vbproj to the SDK-style project format targeting net8.0-windows, enabling Windows Forms and implicit usings. Replaced direct assembly references and the packages.config file with PackageReference entries for DigitalData.Modules.Logging, NLog, and NuGet.CommandLine. Removed legacy configuration and import sections, streamlining the project structure and build process. Cleaned up unnecessary property groups and file includes, and updated project references for improved maintainability.
