In DevExpress Template Gallery, XAF Controllers do not appear

In DevExpress Template Gallery (version 21.1), XAF Controllers do not appear. I use .NET 5 and Visual Studio Pro version 16.11.2

How can I fix this problem?

There are not XAF Controllers when I want to use them. (I have tested in *.win, *.Module.win and in *.Module)
