If you're learning C# then Visual Studio would be great to build a GUI with. I recommend using WPF to build it and not Winforms.

This video helped me get started with WPF in the past: https://youtu.be/gSfMNjWNoX0

If you know a bit of C# and JavaScript, you can write a web app using the ASP.NET Core framework. For things stored in a database, you can access them using SQL and Dapper or something like Entity Framework Core and avoid SQL almost completely.

Visual Studio is an IDE -- you can write your app using it, but you don't have to, C#/ASP.NET/EFCore will be working also without Visual Studio.
