Toolbox empty in Visual Studio for Mac.

Hi, I downloaded and installed visual studio for mac and created a new Web Form Project. I've noticed a couple of differences, but the biggest one is that I see no tools in my toolbox. I also can't open a design view. I've tried to check for updates and I'm still unable to see anything. Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone have a solution?

Do you try to right-clicking on it and selecting the "Reset Toolbox" option? You can also try to manually add specific tools to it by using the "Choose Items..." option.

Otherwise, I am afraid, that VS for Mac does not have a visual designer for ASP.NET projects.

I don't see a reset toolbox option. I've tried right clicking and either nothing happens or I see the option to dock and undock the toolbox. It's good to know the visual designer isn't there though.

honestly, from experience, Microsoft visual studio doesn't work that well on a mac. if I were you I would download a program called vmsoftware, and what this does is it puts windows 10 on your mac, this is how I run all my programs and do my code. I am currently using this software for my programs. it will not slow down your mac.
