What it does
Build, maintain, or modernize Windows Forms applications with practical guidance on designer-driven UI, event handling, data binding, MVP separation, and migration to modern .NET. USE FOR: working on Windows Forms UI, event-driven workflows, or classic LOB applications; migrating WinForms from .NET Framework to modern .NET; cleaning up oversized form code. DO NOT USE FOR: unrelated stacks; generic tasks that do not need this specific guidance. INVOKES: inspect the repository context, edit targeted files, and run relevant build, test, lint, or validation commands when changes are made.
Windows Forms
Trigger On
- working on Windows Forms UI, event-driven workflows, or classic LOB applications
- migrating WinForms from .NET Framework to modern .NET
- cleaning up oversized form code or designer coupling
- implementing data binding, validation, or control customization
Workflow
- Respect designer boundaries, never edit
.Designer.csdirectly; changes are lost on regeneration. - Separate business logic from forms, use MVP (Model-View-Presenter) pattern. Forms orchestrate UI; presenters contain logic; services handle data access.
// View interface, forms implement this public interface ICustomerView { string CustomerName { get; set; } event EventHandler SaveRequested; void ShowError(string message); }
