Tool to add controls with drag-and-drop editor?

[Robert Benaroya]

Hi,

I am very new to .NET MAUI and building Android apps in general.

I want to build a very simple app to control some home theater devices with raw TCP sockets.

I already wrote in C the code to do what I need using VS2022.

There seems to be a substantive learning curve to build the GUI within an app, even with just limited controls like buttons and text fields.

Is there a drag-and-drop editor that will work with VS2022 and Syncfusion?

Alternatively, is there a doc for beginners?

Thanks.

Thanks, that is helpful to see how to add a component.

But I still have to edit manually its proprieties in the xaml file, like WidthRequest or others for color, positioning, etc...

I am looking for a tool allowing to do this with a GUI to adjust visually all the aspects of a control.

Something like:

but that could be used with your controls and VS2022.

Hi,

After searching on the Internet, I think that the best platform for me is Uno + Figma.

Thank you for your help.
