    If winforms is a requirement of your course, you’re probably out of luck. You might be able to get away with xamarin/mono in some form but winforms pretty much requires windows – Hursey Feb 01 '22 at 08:18
  • @hursey Winform is not required I just want something like winform mean drang and drop textbox button and backend with vb – Dixit Ram Feb 01 '22 at 08:23

    Pretty sure any drag and drop type designer interface will require winforms. IMO you’re just going to end up making things harder for yourself – Hursey Feb 01 '22 at 08:32
  • @Hursey Basically Ur Say That There Is not Other alternative of winform – Dixit Ram Feb 01 '22 at 09:20

You can take a look at Avalonia or Uno platform. Both WPF or WinForms won't work since they are not cross platform and they have many Windows (GDI, DirectX...) dependencies.

For purposes of the class you won't find anything close enough that will satisfy your assignment requirements. If your professor will be testing/grading in Windows, your program needs to run there, too.

What you can do is do your development work in a Virtual Machine, where you can run Windows as a guest in your existing environment. Microsoft also provides Labs that may provide you access to a suitable VM over the web.
