And they promptly shot themselves in the foot with it as you now need 64bit components for their form designers, even if you exclusively build 32bit apps.
If you maintain an application with legacy form components that are only available in 32bit, you now need to continue using VS2019.
Granted, who builds 32bit in year 2022 but VS claims to support 32bit, which it actually doesn't fully.
There is still a chance that they will fix this before release but I highly doubt it.
- liversage 5y agoPerhaps that's one of the reasons they have didn't switch to 64 bits earlier? If the IDE is a 64 bit process it can only render external components at design time if they are 64 bits. To be able to render 32 bit components at design time they would need to be hosted in another 32 bit process. I can see how that feature would be complicated and expensive to develop.
