In order to create an application that offers UI, choose an appropriate project type in “Create a new project” dialog. Some of the popular types:
- Windows Forms App (.NET Framework)
- WPF App (.NET Framework)
- Universal Windows Platform App
You can choose C# or VB language.
If you do not see these projects, then probably your Visual Studio is incomplete. You will have to install the missing components using Visual Studio Installer.
For example, you can start with Windows Form App. Then you will see the main form, where you can place your UI controls: buttons, textboxes, etc., which can be found in Toolbox. You can also add more forms.
Give some details about your type of project.

Hi mexcoindia,
Did you create a Windows Form App?
If so, the UI controls are in the ToolBox in the menu View-->ToolBox and then drag the control you want into the form.
If you do not create a winform project, please check the installer and make sure all the tools in the Workloads **desktop development ** are installed successfully.
If l misunderstand your issue, please provide more information about your project type and some screenshots.
Any feedback will be expected.
Best Regards,
Perry

Hi friend,
Any update for this issue? Sorry to disturb and just want to confirm if this issue is solved or not.
And please check if Viorel's or Perry's reply helps to resolve your issue, if so, you can consider marking it as answer to indicate this issue is resolved, which benefit other members with similar issue.
As for the issue you get:
Not sure what project type you refer to, as I know there're several projects types related to UI in Windows app. Such as winform(C#,VB). wpf(C#,VB), uwp(C#,VB,C++)...
And if you can't find the UI designer window, for winform project please double-click the Form1.cs file. For wpf and UWP project, you can double-click the xx.xaml file to open the designer.
After that, you don't need to add UI by Projects/Add new item, you can find the UI controls you need in Toolbox like what Perry suggested, and just drag the control to your designer window.
Look forward to your reply. Have a nice day!
Sincerely
Lance
