Im not asking to buy anything, im askign whats a good app to develop webapps for C#
I mean if any one had the next billion dollar idea they wouldn't be sharing it in a random chat.
a good idea is something that solves real world problems
no no no
finding and making it into a product is the difficulty
you dont get it im sorry I cant word it properly
basically
I want an app
like visual studio
but better
so I can develop webapps
ah I see
Bootstrap Studio - The Revolutionary Web Design Tool

exaclty
it doesnt have to support C# I just need one to make like
clean webapp
I suck rn
I mean there is figma which is a popular one
alr
Figma

Figma is the leading collaborative design tool for building meaningful products. Seamlessly design, prototype, develop, and collect feedback in a single platform.
I also heard someone talk about adobe XD
is that any good
well adobe requires u to know design very well
and beyond that requires u to know how to convert that into html/css
alright.
and adobe has many products
I opened this and it showed a lot of phone apps, is this for that and pc webapps?
so I assume u mean adobe photohop?
I think yeah
you can make either
I wanna make this basically
Alright.
that is not webapp
that is desktop app
ohh
I got confused sorry
do you know one to make
a desktop app
for winforms no best u will find are theme libraries that are paid
and some free ones on github
oh.
dang
like some examples
Syncfusion
WinForms Theme Studio | Theme Editor | Syncfusion

WinForms UI Controls - .NET 9 Support, Visual Studio, C#
The award-winning DevExpress .NET WinForms Subscription with .NET 9 / .NET 8 Support includes 190+ UI Controls and Libraries, including Data Grid, Data Visualization and Reporting, and many more.
so Im guessing visual studio is the best one
Telerik.com

visual studio is just a tool to develop winforms
making winforms look good require a lot of work
oh
dang
wpf is a lot easier but still complex controls require time and knowledge to modify to make it look different or match some visual u have in mind

WPF is what is used to make visual studio
is there a reason why it needs to be winforms? like college or something?
my friend does C# coding to make like lil winforms, Ai etc
and I like making the Ui for him
sometimes we sell it for side hobby
so I wanna learn to make a good one
I see well if only winforms then you're out of luck.
You would require to understand how winforms works, how the controls are made, how GDI+ works
because a lot of the time u need to redraw the control to make it look different or know the API underlying it to change certain behaviors
is there something other than winforms
all I really need is like something that doesnt pop up on your browser
WPF, Avalonia, UWP, WinUI3
it needs to be a seperate app thats all
WPF out of the box looks like this
WOAH
thats perfect
if u need it to run on Linux, Mac, and windows then Avalonia
WPF is windows only
just windows
that works
just keep in mind that WPF learning curve is a lot harder than winforms
$newproject
When creating a new project, prefer using .NET over .NET Framework, unless you have a very specific reason to be using .NET Framework.
.NET Framework is now legacy code and only get security fix updates, it no longer gets new features and is not recommended.

it would be this one
alr alr
https://wpf-tutorial.com/
you can learn the basics here its not easy if ur coming from winforms
alright
all I really need
is like an incredibly simple version of this
none of the charts or anything
just the like
looks
https://github.com/microsoft/WPF-Samples/tree/main/Sample%20Applications/WPFGallery
this is the app from the images above
it has a side menu
pages that open on the right
do I just
download trhis
that is not trivial to do it requires a lot of knowledge
it requires u to understand how navigation works
bindings
mvvm
the fundamentals of c#
so its a lot of things to do
but
if all u want is to make the visual its possible with no much c# knowlege
I make the visuals with 0 coidn
coding
my friend does it all
still not simple u need to understand WPF
visual with 0 code = ugly app
no no
I send it to him
and he adds the code
yes but to modify the visual of the app u need code
u can make winform look pretty if u know how
same with wpf
but requires knowing c# and/or XAML
oh ok
I will try and learn
do u know how to download this
u click WPF-Samples at the top left then u should have a green code button that lets u download it as zip
alright
anyway the other alternative would be for u to look up yt channels/videos on how to be clever with winforms using panels and other controls to create the design which is expensive because you're layering multiple controls on top of each other making the app heavy like say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR1emWi6gns
