I am using C sharp for my practical exam in vs code. Problem is. I can't use toolbars of csharp like vs community in vs code. I can open the form with no toolbar options. How to use the toolbar option in vs code for free?

    Toolbar? What toolbars are you talking about? Do you mean the Toolbox where controls are at and you can drag and drop them onto your form? If so then that is only available in Visual Studio. VS Code does not provide graphical UIs that I'm aware of. You can either create the markup manually (which is what the designer is doing) or you need to switch to Visual Studio. VS Community is a free download so in that regard there are no differences.

    One of the major differences of an IDE vs a code editor is the support of visual designers that generate code.

    If it makes you feel better, visual studio no longer has support for a web form designer as it did not support cross browser or responsive design.
