Visual Studio 2022 XAML Designer for UWP App Not Working
While attempting to follow the instructions on Microsoft's Learn Page linked here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/get-started/csharp/tutorial-uwp?view=vs-2022
I'm unable to get the XAML Desiger to open, either when opening the .xaml files, or force opening it through Shift + F7/the button in the view menu.
I'm using the Blank UWP App from Create Project, with default target settings
Things I've tried based on reasearch from SO and Visual Studio Forums:
- Ensured that the Designer is Turned on in Visual Studio Tools Menu
- Repaired Installation of Visual Studio 2022
- Clean Install of Visual Studio 2022
- Opened Project via .csproj file instead of folder
- Confirmed that my Windows is up to date
- OS is above Target Framework Version (.NET 9 and OS Build 26100.3194)
Most of my searching so far has found mostly responses referencing WinUI3 not having a designer, but my understanding is that this does not apply to UWP
According to the Dev Blogs Modernize your UWP app with preview UWP support for .NET 9 and Native AOT
UWP support for .NET 9 is available in preview, and as such you should expect to potentially find issues, as well as missing functionality (such as no XAML Designer at the moment). You should also expect some binary size regressions compared to .NET Native (more on this below).
If you want to use XAML designer in UWP, it is recommended to select UWP Blank App(.NET Native) as project template.
