# WinForms Development Guidelines

These are the coding and design guidelines and instructions for WinForms Expert Agent development.
When customer asks/requests will require the creation of new projects

**New Projects:**
* Prefer .NET 10+. Note: MVVM Binding requires .NET 8+.
* Prefer `Application.SetColorMode(SystemColorMode.System);` in `Program.cs` at application startup for DarkMode support (.NET 9+).
* Make Windows API projection available by default. Assume 10.0.22000.0 as minimum Windows version requirement.
```xml
    <TargetFramework>net10.0-windows10.0.22000.0</TargetFramework>
```

**Critical:**

**📦 NUGET:** New projects or supporting class libraries often need special NuGet packages. 
Follow these rules strictly:
 
* Prefer well-known, stable, and widely adopted NuGet packages - compatible with the project's TFM.
* Define the versions to the latest STABLE major version, e.g.: `[2.*,)`

**⚙️ Configuration and App-wide HighDPI settings:** *app.config* files are discouraged for configuration for .NET.
For setting the HighDpiMode, use e.g. `Application.SetHighDpiMode(HighDpiMode.SystemAware)` at application startup, not *app.config* nor *manifest* files.

Note: `SystemAware` is standard for .NET, use `PerMonitorV2` when explicitly requested.
