Answer 2

I had to install the winformsdesigner.setup.vsix first:

Enabling the designer To enable the designer, download and install the Windows Forms .NET Core Designer VSIX package. You can remove it from Visual Studio at any time. After you install the .NET Core Designer, Visual Studio will automatically pick the right designer (.NET Core or .NET Framework) depending on the target framework of the project you're working on.

Answer 3

@ Simnoe : I have face the same issue with VS 2017, but I was able to solve it. What you got to do is right click on your form, for example if your form name is "Form1.cs". Right click on it and you'll see an option called "Include in project", just click on it, this should solve your problem.
