I installed Visual Studio 2015, and tried to create a windows form, just as I used to do it in the VS2010. I could not find a Windows form for C#.

How can I create one? Do I need to install another version or do I need a plugin or something?

  • Under Installed-->Templates-->Visual C# there is Windows Forma Application for me.

  • That isn't visual studio in your screen shots. It is Blend which is used for WPF applications. I don't use the community version, but they are two seperate applications

  • That's Blend, not full Visual Studio, search for & download visual studio community 2015

  • The screenshot shows "Blend", not Visual Studio

  • You're looking at blend dude. It's not visual studio

It seems you are opening new project in Blend. You have to use Visual Studio (not Blend).

Blend and Visual Studio are installed together with Visual Studio Community Edition 2015 . You probably run a wrong shortcut (which starts Blend).

  • yeah i am still working on it. it's not working atm, you said that they are both being installed(the blend version and the normal one) but i do ONLY have the blend version. weird. I am currently updating it and installing everything again. will accept your answer as soon as it worked. thanks

The Checked Answer is correct however there is no explanation of how to solve this. I just came to the same problem, but figured it out. When searching in your file directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE

Then you can search .exe and it will come up with Blend and devenv. Or just scroll till you find devenv. devenv is the clickable application for visual studio community. :)
