-The Project Designer in Visual Studio is a dialog box that you can use to specify applications settings and properties for a .NET or .NET Framework project. The Project Designer includes several different project properties tabs or pages to interact with. What you see depends on your .NET project type, platform, and programming language. For detailed information on properties in the .NET C# Project Designer, see [.NET Project Designer (C#)](../reference/project-designer-dotnet-csharp.md). For detailed information on the .NET Framework Project Designer, see [Project properties in the .NET Framework Project Designer](#project-properties-in-the-net-framework-project-designer).

The Project Designer includes several different project properties tabs or pages to interact with. What you see depends on your .NET version, since the project designer for .NET Framework projects is different from the project designer for projects that target .NET Core and .NET 5 and later.
