Microsoft announced .NET Core 3 comes with WPF and Windows Forms. So can I create a desktop application for Linux or Mac using .NET Core 3?
No, they have clearly stated that these are windows only. In one of the .NET Core 3.0 discussions, they have also clarified that they do not intend to make these features cross-platform in the future since the whole concept is derived from windows specific features. They talked about thinking of a whole new idea for cross-platform applications, which is not easy.

Update
The newly announced .NET 5 now aims in avoiding all this confusion by no longer calling it ".NET Core".
Update 2
With blazor client-side (releases on may, 2020), there is a new experimental project for cross-platform apps using webview that is in the works.

No with WPF or Winforms. But you still can develop desktop apps on Linux, with .NET Core, using other libs like GtkSharp or Avalonia
Well, the name itself says Windows Presentation Foundation. So it's primarily windows based.
But it is worth to be noted that the new UI framework, .NET MAUI that will be shipped with .NET 6 is cross-platform, with a single-codebase, single-project structure.
Currently in Preview at the time of writing, to be shipped in November 2021. Here's the roadmap.
Although it is not native dotnet core on linux, but it may be helpful - using wine.
I find a very useful comment in the discussion here, more details here
In other words, it is possible to use windows version of dotnet core under wine.
I didn't try it yet, but from the article I mentioned I can say it looks nice and might be an option.
I am developing an Application on WinCe, exactly Windows embedded coampact 7, using Visual Studio 2008, C# 3.5, .net Compact Framework 3.5.
Now the designer told me, he needs Anti-Aliased fonts. Does anybody know how to enable anti-Aliasing on WEC7? Do I have to make a specific Plattform Build. Does it need a lot of Performance. Device is quite weak.
Thank you very much for any hint.
Check this article. It's for CE 6 but applies also to Compact 7:

i need a tiny program like powerbasic for compiling basic applications that runs on the console of windows (tiny, so microsoft express edition is not an option). What do you recomend me?
You can use Microsoft's Visual Basic compiler from the command prompt:
vbc.exe Source.vb
The compiler is part of the .NET Framework installation and is located in
%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<Framework version>\vbc.exe
FreeBASIC is a free/open source (GPL), 32-bit BASIC compiler[1] for Microsoft Windows, protected-mode DOS (DOS extender), Linux, FreeBSD and Xbox.
http://freebasic.net
OS DOS, FreeBSD, Linux, Microsoft Windows
License GNU GPL, Standard libraries licensed under the GNU LGPL
Quick Basic compiler link I found using search:
http://www.qbcafe.net/qbc/english/download/compiler/qbasic_compiler.shtml
There's a qbasic version still in development at http://www.qbasic.com/
QBasic http://www.qbcafe.net/qbc/english/download/compiler/qbasic_compiler.shtml
Best BASIC programming environment ever in my opinion (VisualBasic and Real Basic don't count but they are equally awesome)
And then there is XBasic
XBasic is a variant of the BASIC programming language
http://xbasic.sourceforge.net/
Both mentioned FOSS variants can compile for Windows
Hope it helps
JustBasic is free, small, and wonderful! And the users in the forums are extremely friendly and helpful! http://www.justbasic.com (I'm not sure if it's open source though... but it IS free)
I use QB64 a 64-bit compiler for Windows XP 7 8. Compiles most (or easily converted) QuickBasic 4.5 programs.
Are there any UI Components for Windows CE 6.0, other than the ones supplied by the Compact Framework and Visual Studio? I am developing applications with C# and the Compact Framework that need some visual design and the VS controls and components are not sufficient to me.
Thx your answers.
See this similar question: Round buttons for Windows Mobile. It should be relevant for Windows CE 6 as well. The example is in native code, but you can use SDF 1.4 source code to convert it to C#. I guess you can use the technique shown to create more controls of your own.
I also found this article about creating custom controls for Windows Mobile that might suite Windows CE as well as it is based on the compact framework, but I have not read this through nor tested it.
What components exactly are you looking for?
Windows CE6 R3 now supports Silverlight, so you can do some pretty cool things, although i think it's a little more complicated than typical Silverlight.

Does anyone know of a profiler that works with .NET 4 (beta 2)? I normally use the EQATEC profiler but it doesn't seem to be working with .NET 4 executables.
EQATEC Profiler v3.0 has just been released today and it now supports .NET 4.0.
You can get it here: http://www.eqatec.com/tools/profiler
For what it's worth, I've found plenty of performance problems in our .NET app, using the non-profiler.
VS2010 Ultimate edition comes with a profiler. It is placed in the Analyze menu. I haven't used it for anything serious yet, but it appears to be an updated version of the one that comes with the TF editions of VS2008/2005.
