Winforms designer not working in .Net 6

created 3 years ago

I have ported a Winforms app from .Net 4.8 to .Net 6.0. I have a form that has a LayoutControl inside an XtraTabControl. I am not able to select the tab control or individual controls inside the tab control. Is that expected? If not, how can I diagnose the fault, please?

Hello Sean,

To use designer tools for DevExpress controls, you need to install the DevExpress.Win.Design package from the local NuGet feed or from a remote NuGet feed at https://nuget.devexpress.com.

See these help article for more information:
.NET/.NET Core Support
Design-Time Support for DevExpress WinForms Controls for .NET - FAQ
Troubleshooting - Visual Studio Design Time

Should you have additional questions, please let me know.
