Powerhouse of Integrated Development Environment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n<p>Visual Studio 2017 is a what-you-call powerhouse of an integrated development environment (IDE) that leaves no stone unturned when it comes to desktop applications, web applications, mobile applications, and games. Boasting a wide range of features that help developers in developing, testing, and debugging their applications, this IDE is not one for the faint-hearted.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Importance_of_Design_View_in_Visual_Studio_2017\"><\/span>The Importance of Design View in Visual Studio 2017<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the prime features that make Visual Studio stand out from the rest is its design view, which helps developers create user interfaces for their applications with ease. For some users though, getting to the design view in Visual Studio 2017 can be a bit of a conundrum.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_Your_Game_Face_On_How_to_Access_Design_View_in_Visual_Studio_2017\"><\/span>Get Your Game Face On: How to Access Design View in Visual Studio 2017<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Not to worry though, we&#8217;ve got you covered! Here&#8217;s how to get the design view in Visual Studio 2017:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Open_the_Project\"><\/span>Step 1: Open the Project<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first step is to open the project on which you want to work in Visual Studio 2017. Simply select the File menu and choose Open, followed by Project\/Solution.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Open_the_Form\"><\/span>Step 2: Open the Form<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve opened the project, you will need to open the form (Windows Form or Web Form) for which you want to access the design view. You can do this by double-clicking on it in the Solution Explorer or right-clicking on it and selecting View Designer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Switch_to_Design_View\"><\/span>Step 3: Switch to Design View<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Upon opening the form, you&#8217;ll notice that the code view will be activated by default. No problem though. Simply click on the Design tab at the bottom of the screen to switch to the design view. From here, you can easily drag, drop, and tweak the controls to your heart&#8217;s content.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_4_Work_Work_Work_in_Design_View\"><\/span>Step 4: Work, Work, Work in Design View<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;re in the design view, it&#8217;s time to get to work! Customize the form and its various user interface elements as per your requirements. To add a control to the form, click on the control from the Toolbox and then click on the form where you want to place it. You can also resize and move the controls with absolute ease &#8211; all without having to break a sweat!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Final_Word\"><\/span>A Final Word<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Getting the design view in Visual Studio 2017 is the best way to make your user interface shine. Follow these steps and get your creative juices flowing &#8211; in no time, you&#8217;ll have a professional-looking application that stands out from the rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Visual Studio 2017: The Powerhouse of Integrated Development Environment Visual Studio 2017 is a what-you-call powerhouse of an integrated development environment (IDE) that leaves no&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12142,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3297],"tags":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Visual-Studio-ULTIMATE-GUIDE-How-To-step-by-step-Tutorial.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12955"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12955"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13897,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12955\/revisions\/13897"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12142"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mauricemuteti.info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
