⚠️ Deprecating dialogs from the Office API library

[jozefizso]

The OfficeApi library has several Win Forms dialogs defined. These dialogs are causing build issues when transitioning to .NET 6 and the dotnet build system. We will remove them from the 1.9 release and these dialogs will be available from a new package which will isolate the Win Forms code.

List of dialogs:

• AboutDialog
• DiagnosticsDialog
• ErrorDialog
• PropertyGridDialog
• RichTextDialog
• ToolsDialog

Issue Details

When building the project with dotnet build instead of msbuild the embeded images in the resource files will cause this error:

C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\6.0.400\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(3262,5):
error MSB3823: Non-string resources require the property GenerateResourceUsePreserializedResources to be set to true. [OfficeApi.csproj]
error MSB3822: Non-string resources require the System.Resources.Extensions assembly at runtime, but it was not found in this project's references. [OfficeApi.csproj]

Breaking changes

• Method DialogUtils.TryGetApplicationVisible() moved to CommonUtils.TryGetApplicationVisible()
• Removed OutlookDialogUtils class. The OutlookDialogUtils.HostVisible property is available in the ApplicationUtils class as ApplicationUtils.Visible property.
