New to C#, wanting to make a desktop application for windows 11 any recommendations?
Just started learning C#, and I am wanting to make a desktop app for windows 11, the application i want to make needs to handle data fetched from a server, sort it and display it (with graphs if possible). What are any recommendations with tools or frameworks for doing such things? I would prefer if its beginner friendly but as long as it can make what I want doesnt matter if it have big learning curve.

if you don't have particularly complex UI requirements, windows forms is simplest to start with and you can throw a charting library like scottplot on top of it for the graphs
WPF would be better than windows forms in terms of scaling to a more complex interface later on
It would be just displaying tables + a line graph for data across time. Which youd recommend?
tables? how big those tables would be? winforms might not be the best showing large tables
I'd say go with WPF
if you're too afraid with XAML, you can download the Markup nuget package for wpf and do it the c# way
markup api is basically what we call fluent api
Tables would be like 300 rows with like 6 columns
Got it, Thanks
