  • winforms

    Windows Forms is a .NET UI framework for building Windows desktop applications.

  • Windows Forms[0] is still alive and will never die, and very low overhead to start with, and works on new and shiny .NET 8.

    If Linux or macOS, you can use AvaloniaUI[1] instead which is sufficiently advanced but assumes some prior knowledge.
