Description

## Objective

Build a sample with constructor-injected Forms, Designer-created UserControls/components, modal and modeless scopes, navigation, cancellation, and disposal diagnostics. Exercise C# and VB, Designer round trips, Classic/light/Dark Mode, Terminal Services, Windows on ARM, and slow hardware.

## Completion guidance

- Keep the implementation focused on the objective while allowing the assignee to improve the approach based on research.
- Document important decisions, rejected alternatives, dependencies, and follow-up work.
- Add or update tests and documentation appropriate to the work.
- Verify locally and in CI where the task changes code or generated artifacts.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by researching the existing WinForms sample and DI/scopes infrastructure, then define the sample boundaries and compatibility matrix. Done means the requested C# and VB scenarios, Designer round trips, platform and theme checks, diagnostics, decisions, tests, and documentation are covered.
