    Hi all,

    I have several custom DNN modules I work on in VS Community 2017. Looking forward, just wondering if I need to start thinking about moving to VS2022, and if I did, what kind of pain points I would expect. Or should I just ride out a few more years of mainline support for 2017? I'm thinking of things like backward compatibility for projects built in 2017, DNN starter template compatibility, etc.

    Thanks for your thoughts!

    David

      I'm fairly certain that I've opened DNN modules created with VS2017 using VS2021 and with no problems. Prudence says to make a backup of the project directory first. And when Prudence speaks, Joe listens.
