> the WinUI3 designer is inexcusably broken
I just tried VS2022, and the UI designer for WinUI3 is completely non-functional? What is the recommended approach to lay out the UI pages these days?
- pjc50 5y agoRealistically you have three options: - ignore Winui3 and do it in WPF (fewer controls, deprecated, actually works) - do it blind in XAML, possibly with the aid of a piece of paper. Or the "live view" in VS if that works. (Live View is the suggestion given on the github issue for "designer doesn't work", fwiw) - do it in the UWP designer, then s/Windows/Microsoft/ in the control namespaces
- chrisandchris 5y agoThat's what i really love about the MS ecosystem. There are actually 3 ways to achieve a task, but none of it works fully end-to-end.

- p2t2p 5y agoExactly. And then people wonder why everything is electron nowadays. Native UI development on any platform is pure garbage compared to frameworks in Web frontend. I hope SwiftUI and flutter will be able to make it at least a little bit better.
