However, this development presents a notable challenge for some .NET Framework projects that use Windows Forms Designer in Visual Studio 2022. The challenge is that it is not possible to design forms in .NET Framework projects that rely on 32-bit references. This is a result of the inherent technical limitation that the 64-bit devenv.exe process in Visual Studio cannot load 32-bit bulk references. This particular hurdle has proven to be a significant barrier to adoption for users with Windows Forms .NET Framework projects that make extensive use of ActiveX/COM controls or other custom controls included in 32-bit assemblies. Previously, the workaround for such scenarios was to use Visual Studio 2019, and run Windows Forms Designer as a 32-bit process to meet the specific needs of these projects.
