    If I'm not mistaken there is a way using PowerShell Pro Tools, as documented here: https://blog.ironmansoftware.com/wpf-vs-code-powershell/

    Note that the extension requires a license (although it has a 14 days trial period)

    You can create WPF in VS Code but there is no preview for XAMAL., install the plugin for C# support. To create WPF projects use dotnet CLI new command
