>important The WinForms converter crashes when converting a project with Visual Studio 2017 18.7 or newer. This is caused because in the latest version of Visual Studio a type used in the converter was moved. Additional information is available here: [WinForms Converter crashes with Visual Studio 15.8](https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/knowledge-base/converter-exception)

>important WinForms Converter is not available for VS 2019 yet because of breaking changes in Roslyn.
