Overview
The design-time capabilities provided by Visual Studio are fundamentally different when working with controls that target .NET Framework compared to controls that target .NET Core or .NET 5 and higher. The designer functionality for the Bars controls is optimized based on the target platform.
Note
See the Visual Studio Designer topic for details and requirements for designer functionality.
.NET Framework
The Bars controls are specifically designed to make the design-time customization experience remarkably like the run-time customization experience. The Bars controls can be completely designed and customized in the designer and rely heavily on drag-and-drop functionality.
See the Designer for .NET Framework topic for more information.
.NET Core / .NET 5 and Higher
The Bars controls are fully customized in a standalone dialog which enables easy interaction with toolbars, menus, and commands.
See the Designer for .NET Core / .NET 5 and Higher topic for more information.
