Usage

javascript
import { execFileSync } from "node:child_process";
import { readFileSync } from "node:fs";

const projectPath = "Pams/HelperTool/HelperTool.csproj";
const projectFile = readFileSync(projectPath, "utf8");

if (!projectFile.includes("System.Windows.Forms")) {
  throw new Error("System.Windows.Forms dependency is not declared.");
}

execFileSync("dotnet", ["build", projectPath], {
  stdio: "inherit",
});

AI Coding Instructions

• Keep the System.Windows.Forms dependency declaration in Pams/HelperTool/HelperTool.csproj aligned with the project target framework.
• Restore NuGet packages before building or running HelperTool.
• Use Windows Forms controls and events from the dependency rather than adding duplicate UI abstractions.
• Avoid removing the dependency while HelperTool code still references Windows Forms namespaces.
