====== Essential Project Settings ======

jControls NF4 also requires specific project settings to work properly.  The project should be [[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/porting/upgrade-assistant-how-to-upgrade|upgraded to an SDK-style project]], and it should be configured for 64-bit platforms, as 32-bit platforms are not supported.  A reference to the ComfileTech.jControlsNF4 library needs to be added, and the program's main form needs to inherit from jForm in order to host jControls.

===== Using the New Project Template =====

To avoid the hassle of upgrading an ordinary .NET Framework 4 WinForms project, configuring it properly, and creating and configuring the main form, save yourself the trouble, and //always// use one of the jControls Visual Studio project templates.  When using one of the jControls Visual Studio project templates, you'll always have a working project with a jForm ready to go, so you can immediately begin adding controls to build your solution.
