Adding Support for Visual Studio 2026

[Sharlock93]

I wanted to create this issue to keep track of the support for Visual Studio 2026. There are some changes but by far the biggest one is the introduction of .slnx as the solution file format.
I have yet to delve into any of this but I think it would be good to have a place to track things.
(of course if its internally tracked at Ubisoft, feel free to disregard or close the issue).
While vs2022 works just fine if you only have vs2026 installed then the generation doesn't work as you would expect.

By my estimation these would be the rough high level tasks to tackle:

• Add vs2026 to the DevEnv Enums.
• Handle the vs2026 enum in various places like Sln.cs etc
• Add Slnx.Template.cs for base Slnx generation

I'm currently working through this, will note things down as I go along.

Hi,
We are aware of this. No work has started internally for this but we discussed it. We think this VS 2026 support should be done in two phases.

1. Add support for existing sln + vcxproj(just adding the enum and make any necessary other modification)
2. Add support for slnx as an optional solution format

Hello,
Totally makes sense. I should have point 1 done by tonight and will send in a PR. I actually have it working just needs some clean up.
Point 2 might take some more time as its optional.
