✅ is there a Winforms API reference?
i have to build a winforms app as part of this school project i'm doing, and i'm opting not to use VS or the designer.
i need an API reference and found this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms?view=windowsdesktop-9.0 but I want to ask if everything i'm going to need for the UI stuff is under System.Windows.Forms or are there other namespaces I'd need to look at?
right now i'm mainly interessted in the controls, layout managers, etc that I'd need to put together a basic, non-functioning UI

✅ which .net version should I be starting with?
i downloaded the latest version from the dotnet website, 9.0, and attempted to use this -> https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui to build out a simple console app with a TUI, but I got an error saying that i need to be on .net 6, which is marked as end-of-support.
is it fine to stick with 9.0, or should I roll back to 8.0? its not terribly important that I be able to use Terminal.Gui, I just don't want to be locked out of using other libraries because the version of .net i'm using is too new.
