Support for VS 2022 (and x64)

[ruilvo]

Hey!

Visual Studio 2022 introduced x64 builds for the first time. This broke all extensions. There is a migration guide.

For extensions written in C# it's basically just an x64 rebuild.

It would be interesting to have this working now during the beta phases and have it release-ready.

Thanks

Thanks for reporting. I guess there are also other things to do in Conan first, like adding support in settings.yml for this compiler. Creating an issue for it.

see also https://github.com/conan-io/conan/issues/9362 it should be a first step

Now that VisualStudio 2022 was officially out for sometime, was there some progress on the extension?

[memsharded]

Nop, I am afraid at the moment this extension is on "stand-by". Until we release Conan 2.0 GA (we are in alpha now, it will take a few months, beta, etc), we will most likely not have time to resume working on this extension to update it.

Thanks for the update @memsharded. It's too bad, it's an essential extension for us for transparent integration of Conan with VS. It means we can't migrate to VS 2022. Good luck

You could try building the extension from source. I'm not sure how much of it will work, if at all, but it's certainly something you can try.

Sure I will try, thanks for the suggestion

https://github.com/RobLinux/conan-vs-extension managed to upgrade and build it for 2022. but it won't work for vs2019 so just install it for 2022 :) here is the vsix : Conan.VisualStudio.zip

UPDATE 2

It works, but buggy, it's likely the the latest version for VS2019 also has the same problems. After changing recipe, and install again by conan-vs-extension, it doesn't take effect immediately. I haven't digged it for the reasons, I just remove the relevant libs and reinstall it, and it works. The extension doesn't support conan profile,does it?

BTW, If install the recipe manually by command conan with a conan profile, and add ".props" in Property Manager in Visual Studio, it works well.

UPDATE 1

After installing Microsoft.VSSDK.BuildTools (version 17.0.5234 works, latest version (17.1.4054) not work), everything builds successfully.

Can not build the extension in VS2022
