Update Debugging WinForms Controls tutorial page to indicate this doesn't work for .NET controls.

Open merriemcgaw opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Users are attempting to use this page to create and debug WinForms .NET controls. This no longer works given that our designer now runs out of process. @KlausLoeffelmann is creating a doc to show how to do this. We're working on blogs and other docs to cover the WinForms .NET controls creation process currently and how to debug them. We will be creating an WinForms Designer SDK Extensibility samples repo shortly that will include samples and how to docs for everything.

@merriemcgaw This still works for .NET Framework projects though, right?

Yes, it does. Well, at least for .NET Framework projects in the classic WinForms Designer. There will be scenarios, where even .NET Framework projects need to be designed in the .NET Framework OOP Designer, namely when you need to design 32-Bit Components in a .NET Framework App in VS 2022 (which is 64-Bit). For that, you would also need to use the .NET Framework WinForms OOP Designer. That one is work in progress, though.
