Add solution explorer goldbar when targeting out-of-support #9349

Open timheuer opened 7 months ago

timheuer commented 7 months ago

Summary

Today we emit out-of-support warnings to the build outputs when targeting out-of-support framework versions:

Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Warning NETSDK1138  The target framework 'net5.0' is out of support and will not receive security updates in the future. Please refer to https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-support for more information about the support policy.  ConsoleApp144   C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\8.0.100\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk\targets\Microsoft.NET.EolTargetFrameworks.targets    32

We do not put this more boldly in the IDE experience until then. We should consider adding a solution-explorer goldbar to show the same warning: image

+1 to @timheuer's concerns about the visibility of this out-of-support warning. While I am generally mindful of "gold-bar-fatigue," this seems like an important warning to surface more boldly in the IDE.
