[Rider] Incompatible framework for unit tests
Hi, would anyone know how to run unit tests on a windows-forms solution on rider?
When I want to add my windows-form solution to my unit test project using the references, it tells me that there's a problem with incompatible framework (btw both have the same versions)

can you go into the csproj files (click the project and hit F4) and share what the target framework in each one is?
because i trust rider saying the frameworks are incompatible more than you saying they aren't 😛
if you have a winforms designer in rider, then your winforms project is on .NET Framework and would indeed be incompatible with a .NET 8 unit test project
It doesn't do anything when I do f4
just open the properties of the project then, should be in there
TestProject
WinFormsApp1
ah, change the target framework of your test project to net8.0-windows

You're the boss
i'm kind of curious how you're doing winforms in rider without a designer
I thought I had checked and done it before, thanks again!!!
In other words, without a designer?
I'm a beginner at c#
how are you arranging things in your form?
rider doesn't have a visual editor for windows forms GUIs on modern .NET versions
I'm a web developer, but I have to do C# with the courses.
So I have to use a designer to get a graphical interface?
i mean, it's not required
but without one you'll need to write all the C# code that would normally be generated by the designer but by hand
Yep, I see.
And to have a designer I guess I have to choose something when I create the project?
no, rider simply doesn't have a designer for windows forms in .NET 5+
you would have to use .NET Framework which is arguably a worse option or use a different IDE like visual studio
or a different GUI framework like WPF
Erf, I hate visual studio...
