By default, this creates a solution that targets the Go-Live supported version, .NET 8 as of now.

For WinForms:

dotnet new winforms-blazor

For WPF:

dotnet new wpf-blazor

To target .NET 6 / .NET 7, pass the corresponding value (net6.0 / net7.0) to the framework (--framework | -f) parameter, example shown below.

dotnet new winforms-blazor -f net7.0

dotnet new wpf-blazor -f net7.0

Optionally, to abstract Razor components as a separate Razor Class Library (RCL), pass the below parameter while creating the project:

-rcl | --razor-class-library - Default value is false

For WinForms:

dotnet new winforms-blazor -rcl

For WPF:

dotnet new wpf-blazor -rcl

Optionally, to make use of NuGet Central Package Management (CPM) feature, pass the below parameter while creating the project (Supported from v3.5.0-preview.1 onwards):

Both of these templates takes two parameters:

Ensure the project dependencies are restored before creating Item from these templates.

While working with .NET 7 or higher SDK, the namespace parameter in short notation needs to be passed as -p:na (i.e., it needs to be prefixed with -p:).
