Windows Form application on Visual Studio Code?

Question

I am currently studying Visual Basic .Net but I'm currently using Linux Mint 18 Mate and the only Visual Studio that's available is Visual Studio Code. I was wondering if it's able to create Windows Form Application?

Answer 1

Windows Forms is exclusive to the [Desktop] Windows platform. You can certainly not use VSCode for that, not even in Windows, as VSCode doesn't include form designer tools like the regular Visual Studio IDE. So even in case you could compile, there are still lacking all the facilities needed for designing.

You can rather try with MonoDevelop for Linux (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MonoDevelop)

Edit:

A year later and it looks like support is coming. My guess is it won't be as nice as running on windows but it will look better than a Java app: https://github.com/dotnet/winforms
