So far, the latter. But we’ll keep looking into options.

Here are some relevant news from MS side. Looks like they will not open-up .NET Core WinForm Designer for third-party .NET languages, any time soon.

* .NET Core Version: 3.1 * Visual Studio 2019 16.5 Preview 1 * Have you experi…enced this same bug with .NET Framework?: No **Problem description:** Unable to use .NET Core Win Forms Designer with third-party languages I'm not sure if this is the correct place to raise issues related to the Visual Studio .NET Core Win Forms designer, but I wanted to get some visibility into enabling support for third-party languages. Many VSIP language vendor partners spent a lot of time and effort into supporting the .NET Framework Win Form designer and at some point in the future customers that have .NET Framework Win Forms applications will want to move to .NET Core (.NET 5). It would be good if the new designer package could avoid hard-coded checks for project types which appears to be the cause of this particular issue. In the .NET Framework designer, the third-party project system can provide support for the language CodeDomProvider which doesn't appear possible with the current designer. **Actual behavior:** Issue occurs due to hard coded project type checks (for C#/VB) in get_Provider(): Microsoft.VisualStudio.WinForms.Package.dll!Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.Private.VSCodeDomDocDataAdapter.Provider.get() Unknown Microsoft.VisualStudio.WinForms.Package.dll!Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.Private.VSCodeDomDocDataAdapter.CompileUnit.get() Unknown Microsoft.VisualStudio.WinForms.Package.dll!Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.IDesignerSerializationManager serializationManager) Unknown Microsoft.VisualStudio.WinForms.Package.dll!Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.DeferredLoadHandler.Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.IVsTextBufferDataEvents.OnLoadCompleted(int fReload) Unknown **Expected behavior:** Support for third-party language integration by using the language supplied CodeDomProvider
