I'm running the latest update of VS2019 Professional and when I try to open the designer, it simply opens another copy of Form1.cs. VS2019 is still broken.
I've created and published a free ProjectTemplate in the meantime. It includes a complete framework of a NetCore Forms application with customized menus, Splash and About Screen, MRUManager and Config:

Hi,
How can we use DataGridView (DataGrid in older version) control in .Net Core 3.0?
I can not see many of the controls in the toolbox in the Windows Form application.
Could you please suggest?
When I double click Form1.cs nothing happens and I have latest Visual Studio 2019 installed. I also did Shift+F7 still nothing. Any tips?
@Rafal, for that, firstly, you need to upgrade your visual studio version to 16.5 which gives the Windows Form Designer preview option along with that, you also need to enable the "Use the preview Windows Form designer for .NET Core" option under the Tools -> Options -> Preview Features. and restart your visual studio. It will start working.
I have VS Community and the Windows Forms Core option does not appear in Create a new project. I assume it's not available in Community?
