Please provide more detail.  What sort of web application?  (Web Forms, MVC, Core or not?)  Visual Studio for MAC doesn't support Web Forms, for example.

See the chart near the bottom of the page at https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/mac/ for a comparison between what is supported on Visual Studio for Windows vs Visual Studio for MAC.

Hi danik,

According to your description, I checked the questions in the Visual Studio for Mac community.

I'm sorry to tell you that there is no visual designer and empty toolbox for ASP.NET project in the Mac version of Visual Studio.

This is the relevant information for discussion in the community:

No Design View Visual Studio 2017

Toolbox empty & Design view does not work for ASP.NET projects

So, it is recommended that you use windows version of VS for operation.
