Creating new project does not show Form.

Question

Hi

I just started a programming course and when the lecturer created a new project it opened a form.

Mine opens a Window

Any help with this would be appreciated

Answer 1

I think that you should create a new project, selecting the “Windows Forms App” or “Windows Forms App (.NET Framework)”, according to lecturer recommendations. Make sure that the filters shows all templates.

If these types are not available, then you can use the Visual Studio Installer to select the “.NET desktop development” workload and missing components.

Currently you probably created a WPF project instead of Forms.
