JetBrains Rider C# | Windows Form UI

Question

I've developed a console application using Rider IDE by JetBrains.

What I wanted to know is if there's a way of build an UI using Rider IDE? Or a plugin which creates the basic setup for an app with UI?

Solution

Q: Are you also developing a GUI designer like in Visual Studio for WinForms, WPF etc? A: Yes, we’re looking at how we can support at least previewing WinForms/WPF/Xamarin Forms. We’re not sure we’re going to make it for the first release though.

JetBrains already published the answer,

Generally speaking, they can easily support that on Windows (as open source IDE SharpDevelop already supports that). But it would be a less useful feature as Rider targets cross platform developers.
