New Version of Visual Studio announced

[VR]

Microsoft announced a new version of Visual Studio called Visual Studio 2026... No release date yet, just an insider version for now.

Volkmar,
Thanks for pointing at this.
We will of course make sure that our VS integration works with VS 2026 as well.
Hopefully that did not make too many (undocumented?) changes.

At least on the announcement, the say that:

Visual Studio now offers compatibility with extensions developed for Visual Studio 2022, enabling you to install your favorite extensions on day one.

But your integration is probably quite deep, so it's very likely that some things changed under the surface.

My guess is that the official release will probably be this November (.net conf) or may next year (build)...

This install is side by side so at least, you can start play around with an early version...

But I guess, there is no rush for now, because vs 2022 is quite stable.

Volkmar,

A quick first test shows that our installer detects this version (it identifiers it as Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise (18.0)) and the extension is installed correctly.
The Edit / Compile / Debug cycle also seems to work.
Our debugger windows (Globals, Publics/Privates, Workareas, Settings) also work as well as our expression evaluator.
Our custom form and menu editors work
Our Tools/Options screens are not completely integrated in the new options "experience". Microsoft has still to document what we need to do for this.
The project properties windows work, and the File/New shows our templates.

So things are looking good !

Interesting. That is good news.
