Migrate Visual Studio Extension to VS 2026
Visual Studio 2026 has updated the look of extension settings, how should extension developers update their extension to make use of this?
When you go to the settings page for the csharpier extension I see the message "These settings haven't been migrated yet. Links will open in the legacy Options dialog" and the option to open the legacy settings (IIRc using
DialogPage). I can't see any information online for migrating the dialog box. Has anyone else solved this issue or is the ability for migrate settings coming in a future update?
