This issue seems to have been buried, and is still open after 10 whole years. I am also surprised that Eto.Forms still doesn't have a UI designer. In all honesty I don't have the skills to implement this entirely but maybe we could gather a small team to work on such implementation.

Creating a converter from Stetic or WinForms is a great idea and possibly not too much work.
It's too bad Xaml support in mono is not yet complete (though I may work on that, it is close). A converter may be able to be created to generate either code OR xaml though, so when xaml is ready it'll be done.. and it'd give people options.

Is this going to be worked on a new branch or a separate repo?
Wait, is this still up?

Hey @RBM-GITHUB,
This issue is basically tracking a "drag 'n drop" designer, where we already have a preview of xaml/json/code in Visual Studio and Xamarin Studio (albeit with a few issues that should hopefully be fixed soon).
I don't know if a d'n'd designer is really necessary for Eto.Forms, however if someone wants to work on that, I'm open to any contributions.. hence is why this is "up for grabs". (;
Cheers!

Thanks for replying. Are separated UI available anyway? Like, there's XAML for WPF?
And if I fully understood how Eto thing works then I will definitely work on that (external dedicated designer) because I want it so seriously :~)

wait is this possible to do in visual studio 2017 too?
idk if vs 2017 supports editor plugins but monodevelop is impossible to get for windows users if they don't know how to compile the source.
EDIT: I too would prefer a winforms style designer rather then a wpf one.
the wpf designer sucks

Create a converter, e.g to convert XIB files, WinForms Designer code etc
Was this idea worked on?
Is there already such a converter?
