When working with .NET solutions, GitHub Copilot often assumes .NET (Core) and uses modern .NET-isms for tooling, language, and project file management decisions. This instructions file is meant to be used when working with older .NET Framework projects to make sure Copilot uses tools and code patterns appropriate for .NET Framework scenarios.
