Describe the bug
I have installed the WinUI/ProjectReunion/WindowsAppSDK extensions in VS2019 and followed all the steps in the tutorials but I cannot get the form to paint in the IDE. I have checked all of the settings in the options menus and my other XAML projects render the form just fine. NOTE: The app will run and compile without issue, but will not render in the IDE.

I'm using VS2019 Version 16.10.3 on Windows 10 Pro, build 19042.1110

Steps to reproduce the bug

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create blank app WinUI project.

error1
error4
error2
error3

Using NuGet just makes the problem worse...

The designer doesn't support WinUI 3 as of yet.

The designer doesn't support WinUI 3 as of yet.

Then how are we supposed to do any visual design work?
I've seen screenshots of it working, Alvin Ashcraft's new book proves that.

They where probably using the UWP designer as a temporary workaround to be able to write the book before it's supported in WinUI 3.

The recommended approach for now is manually typing XAML and relying on Hot Reload for the code changes to apply instantly to a running app.

@sylveon is correct, Winui3 does not currently support the VS Designer.
