PDFViewCtrl equivalent in .NET 10 (When Target OS = Windows)

Product: PDFTron.NETCore.Windows.x64

Product Version: 11.12.1

Please give a brief summary of your issue:
How to upgrade PDFViewCtrl from older .NET Framework app to newer .NET 10 app?

Please describe your issue and provide steps to reproduce it:
I have an old .NET Framework 4.8 application that is about to go through a round of modernization to .NET 10. The Target OS will still be Windows (so it is used exclusvely on windows; aka the target framework is net10.0-windows). The existing application uses the PDFViewCtrl currently. But I see from Is there feature/performance parity between .NET Core and .NET Framework SDKs? | Apryse documentation that the “Interactive PDF viewer (PDFViewCtrl)” isn’t included in the .NET Core libraries (under the rationale that .NET Core is “meant to be cross-platform”).

I really am asking if there’s any path forward or a recommendation on how to proceed. In an ideal world, the PDFViewCtrl would still have been there (but only under Target OS Windows). But I presume that’s not the case. Any direction on what my options (if any) are? Is this something I could / would reasonably construct on my own (and is there any sample code anywhere)? Any other ideas?

Apologies, but the PDFViewCtrl isn’t supported under .NET 10. If you’d like to continue using the Windows viewer, it’ll be necessary to continue using the .NET 4 framework.
