+   
+    - For **.NET Framework** projects, libraries are usually distributed with Telerik UI for WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET AJAX, etc.
+    - For **.NET Core / .NET 6 / .NET 8** (or newer) projects, libraries are typically included with Telerik UI for WinForms, WPF, etc.
+    - For projects targeting .NET Standard, libraries are commonly distributed with Telerik UI for Blazor, ASP.NET Core, etc.
+
