How to connect System.Windows.Forms in .Net 5 Console Application?

Question

.NET

Good afternoon, I transferred the application from 4.7.2 to .Net 5, it was possible to use the OpenFileDialog class from System.Windows.Forms, the connection to using did not work, I tried to put Microsoft.Windows.Compatibility from NuGet, but it was also empty there. I googled a couple of options with a change to both net5.0-windows and WinExe, respectively, but it didn’t help, the Output Type of the application changed to Windows Application and it did not start

This is how csproj creates .net cli when you dodotnet new winforms

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net5.0-windows</TargetFramework>
    <UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms>
    <GenerateAssemblyInfo>false</GenerateAssemblyInfo>
  </PropertyGroup>

</Project>
