How Can I use .NET Framework 4.8 on an WPF Class Library?

Question

How Can I get .NET Framework 4.8 in this to Choose? Because when I just use the normal Class Library, without the WPF in the name I can only add an UserControl. I cant choose in that something like Ressource dictionary for example

Choose

WPF User Control Library (.NET Framework)

or

WPF Custom Control Library (.NET Framework)

instead of

WPF Class Library

as project template.

Alternatively, replace

<PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    <UseWPF>true</UseWPF>
</PropertyGroup>

with

<PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net48</TargetFramework>
    <UseWPF>true</UseWPF>
</PropertyGroup>

in the project file (.csproj).

You can also support multiple target frameworks like this:

<TargetFrameworks>net6.0-windows;net48</TargetFrameworks>

Where did I get WPF User Control Library ? Because I dont have this names on the list. And the TargetFramework, in which File did I find this?

TargetFramework is in the .csproj file. Double click on the project in Visual Studio. For the project templates, the appropriate Workloads must be installed in Visual Studio Installer.
