# Desktop Guide for .NET, .NET Core, and .NET Framework
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome to the Desktop Guide. The Desktop Guide is a set of documentation for .NET-based Windows UI technologies including Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) and Windows Forms (WinForms). The Desktop Guide will cover both .NET 5 (and .NET Core 3.1) and later versions, along with .NET Framework.
|
||||
|
||||
Historically, the .NET Framework-based documentation for WPF and WinForms has been included in the [.NET Documentation](/dotnet). Windows Forms content has been migrated to this guide, while the migration of WPF content is ongoing.
|
||||
|
||||
## Windows Forms
|
||||
|
||||
There are two implementations of Windows Forms, each with it's own documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
01. The [.NET Framework 4 implementation](framework/winforms/index.yml?view=netframeworkdesktop-4.8) that's supported by Visual Studio 2019 and Visual Studio 2017.
|
||||
|
||||
.NET Framework 4 is a Windows-only version of .NET and is considered a Windows Operating System component. This version of Windows Forms is distributed with .NET Framework.
|
||||
|
||||
The documentation for this version of Windows Forms is available [here](framework/winforms/index.yml?view=netframeworkdesktop-4.8).
|
||||
|
||||
01. The open-source implementation hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/dotnet/winforms).
|
||||
|
||||
This version runs on **.NET 5 and .NET Core 3.1**. The Windows Forms Visual Designer requires, at a minimum, [Visual Studio 2019 version 16.X](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/?utm_medium=microsoft&utm_source=docs.microsoft.com&utm_campaign=inline+link&utm_content=download+vs2019+desktopguide+winforms).
|
||||
|
||||
Even though this version of .NET is cross-platform, Windows Forms remains a Windows-only technology.
|
||||
|
||||
The documentation for this version of Windows Forms is in progress and not yet available.
|
||||
|
||||
## Windows Presentation Foundation
|
||||
|
||||
The documentation for the .NET Framework implementation of WPF is still hosted in the [.NET documentation](/dotnet/framework/wpf/). It's migration is in progress.
|
||||
|
||||
The documentation for the open-source implementation of WPF for .NET 5 (and .NET Core 3.1) isn't yet available.
