[Follow-up] Remaining Items TODO for DesignTools Refactor

[michael-hawker]

Describe the bug

There were a few small issues remaining with PR #3318. This issue is to track the remaining open small items to resolve before release.

TODO

• MarkdownTextBlock not appearing in Toolbox: Add new 'DesignTools' projects #3318 (review)
• Wiki Page Needed
• Remove TargetPlatformBaseVersion Property
• Change TargetPlatformRevision to TargetPlatformVersion
• Generate base Namespace for type more programatically: Add new 'DesignTools' projects #3318 (comment) and Add new 'DesignTools' projects #3318 (comment)
• Check if need wildcard here: Add new 'DesignTools' projects #3318 (comment)
• Remove old .Design reference? Add new 'DesignTools' projects #3318 (comment)

@Nirmal4G you still up for helping us finalize these bits? Since the majority of everything else was looking good, we just wanted to get the main PR merged so we could continue our other refactors.

[Nirmal4G]

Sure. I'm okay with all the others except the TargetPlatform* properties.

@azchohfi
The reason I called the build number as Revision because it is the marker for the API "updates" or "revisions" in our case. It's a simpler term than what was used before.

@Nirmal4G Think you can get to some of these before we close down for the release in the next couple of weeks?

It'd at least be good to understand why the sperate Markdown package wasn't working as we're doing more work to split out the controls in #3660. Thanks!

[Nirmal4G]

Sure but before or after the mentioned PR?

Also, do we need to separate the Design projects similar to the controls projects too?

[michael-hawker]

@Nirmal4G good point. We've broken ground on the PR, if you'd like to take a look at #3660 and see how the split out package looks, that'd be a great help, we'll do this for each of the sub-packages. I suppose it'll be easier to fix anything else afterwards once we've stabilized?

Though the Markdown package won't be touched in the meantime, so investigating that bug can probably still be done in the meantime? You could also start a Wiki Page with the background info for the Design Tools and how they work in general too. Thanks!

[michael-hawker]

@Nirmal4G we've finished all the refactors to moving controls around, so if there's any polish or other clean-up you want to do in the next week before our final release, let us know. Thanks!

[Nirmal4G]

@michael-hawker I can't mark the TODOs in the issue description!
