Cant add Window (WPF) in Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.7.2 for C#

Question

Im using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.7.2.
I've installed Universal Windows Platform development from Visual Studio Installer.
When I create a new project I get a Window, but I want to add another. My problem is that Window is not part of the add list.

Answer 1

Hi Sigma,

I agree with Viorel, please install “.NET desktop development” workload from VS Installer (Visual Studio Installer > find VS 2019 > More > Modify > select the workload > Modify).

Besides, I noticed that you just installed Universal Windows Platform development in VS, so did you create a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) project, and right-clicked the project to try to add a Window (WPF)? If yes, I’m afraid, you can’t add a Window(WPF) in a UWP project, please create a new WPF project after installing the “.NET desktop development” workload, and try to add a Window (WPF) in WPF project.

Best Regards,
Tianyu

For WPF, I think that you should select “.NET desktop development” in Installer.

Also make sure that you select the project node (not solution or other items) before displaying the Add New Item dialog.
