How to add Syncfusion WinForms Controls from toolbox in .NET Core project?

Currently, Syncfusion WinForms controls does not contain toolbox and designer support for .Net core projects (e.g., .NET 6.0, .NET 7.0, and .NET 8.0).

1. Open your project in Visual Studio.
2. Go to the Tools menu, select NuGet Package Manager, and then choose Manage NuGet Packages for Solution…
3. Click on the Browse tab and search for the specific Syncfusion package (e.g., Syncfusion.SfDataGrid.WinForms).
4. Select the package from the list and choose the project to which you want to add the control.
5. Click on the Install button to add the package to your project.
6. Click on the Designer page
7. Click on the Toolbox
8. Search the control (e.g., SfDataGrid) and drag to add into the Designer
