Events added to the Visual designer in Visual Studio don't automatically generate code-behind handlers

[ken-goldstein-igt]

I am evaluating Avalonia WASM in Visual Studio 2022 (I have C# house). When I add an event (e.g., a click to a button), I have to manually add the C# code-behind handler (which I am copying the Avalonia website). This seems like a bit of an unnecessary manual step.

Q1: Is this perceived limitation correct?
Q2: Am I working around it in the best way?
Q3: Does Avalonia Accelerate overcome this limitation?

Avalonia does not really have a designer (currently). It's just a visual previewer. You can use Resharper/Rider if you want a proper editing experience as both officially support Avalonia.

Thank you.

A significant Avalonia VS extension update/rewrite is expected to launch next month which should solve a lot of these slightly annoying issues.

For now, you need to use Rider to have a good editing experience but even that has significant pains with the XAML Styler extension.

Awesome! We're very much a Visual Studio house with all the integrations, so Rider isn't an option; however, the next Avalonia extension sounds like it will do the trick without having to invest in Resharper.

It works with a new Visual Studio extension, which was previously announced.
