AboutMicrosoft.WindowsDesktop.App.Ref is a packaging of the Windows Desktop runtimes of Windows Forms (WinForms) and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).
How to UseWhen developing a WinForms or WPF application, you do not need to install the Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App.Ref package separately. This package is automatically included as part of the .NET SDK for WinForms and WPF apps, which means you can start using WinForms or WPF namespaces right away in your WinForms or WPF projects.
Addtional Documentation Feedback & ContributingWinForms and WPF is released as open source under the MIT license. Bug reports and contributions are welcomed at the WinForms GitHub repository and the WPF GitHub repository.
