Windows Forms
Windows Forms, more commonly known as Winforms, is a free and open-source GUI library for .NET. Windows Forms provides GUI elements to help developers easily create client-side GUI Applications.[1]
Open Sourcing[change | change source]
At a Microsoft Connect event on December 4th, 2018, it was announced that Windows Forms, with WPF and WinUi would be released open source. [2] This also allowed for forks to be created, as well as attempts at creating a cross-platform version of the library.
