Simply - you can't. GUI controls are strictly bound to Windows operating system. So you just can't use these dlls as they use Windows specific apis.

Hi,
I have an .Net core console application for linux platform.
How to create treeview in .Net Core console application dynamically.
I need this for one of my requirement.
I know treeview and treenode used to show in GUI, But in my console project these two classes needed
I used below lines for adding windows forms,
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
. . .
<UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms>
<DisableWinExeOutputInference>true</DisableWinExeOutputInference>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>
When i do publish, it is giving below error
Error:
There was no runtime pack for Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App.WindowsForms available for the specified RuntimeIdentifier 'linux-x64'

If it does not work, then maybe Forms are not yet available.

Nope. Not possible. Although .NET Core 5 provides some compatibility for desktop apps, it only does so for Windows operating systems. This compatibility is not provided for Linux.

Forget it. It is not doable. You will fail, no matter what you do. You cannot use the TreeView and TreeNode classes in your project.
You may be able to program a new, different, class for processing trees in your console application, but this will not be the same Treeview that Microsoft wrote for GUI applications. -

There is no windows forms project for .net core.

Can i get treeview and treenode methods and properties?I dont need GUI related methods and properties.
My project has to support on linux -

For other operating systems, consider alternative .NET-compatible frameworks, such as “Mono” (https://www.mono-project.com/).
