Description

I'm trying to restore a net8.0-windows project referencing the GDI graph viewer.

https://github.com/microsoft/automatic-graph-layout/blob/c097db8dbda28ce24be3c324f962436f1a8453b3/GraphLayout/tools/GraphViewerGDI/GraphViewerGDI.nuspec#L38

The build complains that the framework reference is unknown

error NETSDK1073: The FrameworkReference 'Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App.WinForms' was not recognized

Is this framework reference correct? I can't find any info on it. Should it be Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App.WindowsForms?
