❔ How to get certain WPF views in VSCode?

*I'm a newbie so if I say anything wrong you should correct me (in an informative way)

I'm trying to get these windows/views in VSCode (see attached pictures) and I'm think they are Designers for WPF which should come with the .NET Framework.

There's this docs https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/get-started/csharp/tutorial-wpf?view=vs-2022#what-is-wpf but....

• I already started my project so how would I go back and add this?
• I'm using VSCode and those are instructions for Visual Studio; how can I open those windows in VSCode?
• after searching I see ppl are saying dont code WPF in VSCode? Are they exaggerating or is it that bad?
• is this a viable alternative if I can't just easily open those views? https://blog.ironmansoftware.com/wpf-vs-code-powershell/ what do other ppl who code WPF in VSCode use?

Bruh, ppl always say VSCode, etc. are just IDEs and its just preference but damn there's actual fucntional advantages & now I need Visual Studio to finish this project

Thanks!
