Hi I am new to microsoft blend. I am trying to find the pen in Microsoft Blend to draw custom shapes but I can't seem to find it as in:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/xaml-tools/draw-shapes-and-paths?view=vs-2022
or
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/32741.microsoft-blend-for-visual-studio-uwp-creating-a-simple-animation.aspx
Here is the what I see in my ide:
microsoft blend
It looks like you're editing a UWP project. I had the same experience with Blend 2019 and Blend 2022. I found that you can find the pen and pencil if you create and edit a WPF project; you could therefore create your graphic "paths" in WPF, and later copy them to UWP. (the UWP "designer" hasn't caught up, in other words)

I was developing uwp apps for the past few years, now moving to winui3. It is my first project. I am unable to find the designer view for the XAML files. Is it not available in WinUI3? or something else?
Unforturnately Designer View is not supported for now in WinUI3 for XAML files. You can track its status on Github:

Properties pad doesn't work on my Visual Studio 2019 on Mac.
Attachment
I tried it on tools like Button or Label. I restarted visual, closed and opened files and nothing has changed.
On this video: https://youtu.be/76it8xVANbI?t=137 it looks fine but my properties pad doesn't display anything inside xaml file. When I click on filenames on the solution pad, properties pad displays info about those files.
I just searched the document and found this feature exists in Visual Studio 2019 for Mac version 8.4 Preview 1 (8.4.0.1935)
There says:
Xamarin:
You can now use the Properties panel to change your control's
attributes when editing Xamarin.Forms XAML. To open it, go to View >
Pads > Properties.
So you can update your Visual-Studio for Mac to version 8.4 Preview 1 (8.4.0.1935) to use this feather.
I have Visual Studio 2017 rel. 15.4.2 with Xamarin 4.7.10.33 (s.o. Windows 7 64 bit).
I create a simple app for Android and iOS and I try to use styles resources.
When I try to define a style inside a ResourceDictionary (in Application.Resources), the intellisense do not show tag "Style".
I have to insert it manually and I don't see nothing oh style's properties.
I see only this
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
I can reproduced this in my side and I have reported it to the VS Product Team to seek for a better support, please check this: Visual Studio 2017 Xaml intellisense not working with tag “Style”
and you can add your comments and vote it, then you can get any updates from the VS Product Team engineers to know the detail progress.
I'm currently using Rad Studio XE5, and I want to create my own style based on the standard Windows 8 style (not modern UI). I'm using the built-in designer in Rad Studio called Bitmap Style Designer. However, I can't seem to fint a vsf-file for the Windows theme. Does anybody know where I can find this, or if it exists? Thanks.
In VB.net a textbox does not have border color property. But i want a control with border color property. I have tried the code mentioned in this link. By using it i was able to create a control which can be added to visual studio and can be used. It works fine for me for .net 3.5 target projects. But it does not work for .net 2.0 targeted project. The border color does not change.i have even tried building the control(dll) using .net 2.0 target and adding it to project but it didn't work. So please help me on it or any alternative for it
An easier solution may be to draw a rectangle around your textbox and set the textbox border to nothing
The Visual Studio Visual Basic Power Pack as a rectangle you can add behind your textbox. Look at the bottom of your Toolbox - may be WinForms only. Or download latest from MS
