Tools are not found in the toolbox of asp.net core web application development environment.

It is stated that there are no usable controls in this group and I tried several solutions like 'reset toolbox', 'show all ' but nothing worked. How can I have the toolbox with the tools I need to design my views.

    Correct. This is the default behavior for ASP.NET Core and Visual Studio.

    You have not explained what tools you expect. If you are expecting ASP.NET server controls like a dropdowns and grids then I'm sorry to inform you these controls do not exist in ASP.NET Core. ASP.NET Core uses tag helpers.

    Get started with ASP.NET Core MVC

    Hello @Wasantha Rambukwella ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    The Toolbox is not available for ASP .NET Core Web project, instead it supports ASP .NET Web Forms projects.

    Here are two suggestion tickets about this feature: Add toolbox to asp .net core and asp .net core web app not showing toolbox. Please kindly upvote, add comments and follow up that tickets and wait for the latest information.

    Currently, you may use HTML and CSS to position the control on the web page and develop your project.

    Thanks for helping us make Visual Studio better, have a nice day.

    Sincerely,

    Tianyu
