Resolved Controls added, but not enabled

[Plan_OK]

VB.net Version 17.7.1 Framework 6.0.21 Windows 10

Hello everyone,
I am trying to add Windows Media Player control in my project. I follow the procedure, but, the system message informs me that the control has been correctly added, but it is not enabled in the design window. Make sure that the controls to be added are compatible with the active design window and version of the .NET Framework.

I try adding the control to a new project: nothing changes.
I uninstall and reinstall Visual Studio and try again: same as before.
I try to do the same with another control: LibVLCSharp 3.7.0: no control added and same message as before even though I find the library among the dependencies (but names not recognized).
I tried installing VS on another computer: same results.
Is some component missing in the Visual Studio installation?
I found another thread with the same problem, but it was abandoned.
What can I do about it? Thanks for your help.

If you're targeting .NET 6 then that's .NET Core and not .NET Framework. I don't think that a WMP control will work in .NET Core. You probably need to create a new project targeting .NET Framework.

OK, jmcilhinney, thank you for your quick and correct answer.
I did some testing and I saw that the problem is really the choice of Framework.
I have recently started programming again after several years and I am having some problems, especially since I am trying to insert video elements into the project.
It was going very well until now: I wrote a code of 6 modules with many visual elements and about 3,000 lines. I think it is impossible for me to recreate the project with Framework 4.5: too much work!
OK, thanks again, I close this thread and open another one with a request for player replacement.
