Description
Actual behavior
In .net framework style project, PInvoke functions are generated correctly, however the project cannot compile. I have uploaded a repro below.
Error info:
error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Windows' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Expected behavior
Project should compile successfully.
Repro steps
Just create a WPF (.net framework) project In latest VS2022 and add some PInvoke functions.
NativeMethods.txtcontent:
SetProcessWorkingSetSize (can be anything)
NativeMethods.jsoncontent (if present):
- Any of your own code that should be shared?
WpfApp1.zip
Context
- CsWin32 version: v0.3.269
- Win32Metadata version (if explicitly set by project): not set
- Target Framework: .net framework 4.8
LangVersion(if explicitly set by project): latest

Research direction
Open the attached WpfApp1.zip repro in Visual Studio 2022 and inspect the generated P/Invoke output and CS0246 build error for the .NET Framework 4.8 project. Start with the NativeMethods.txt input and compare behavior against a supported project type. Done means the generated functions remain available and the WPF project compiles successfully.
