NetFormsNetForms documentation
NetForms is a copy of Windows Forms. The API reference is Microsoft's — every page of
learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/desktop/winforms and
the System.Windows.Forms API reference
applies, in the same namespaces, with the same names and defaults. These pages describe only what is
NetForms' own.
