Retire VS 2017 support #119

Closed walbourn closed 2 years ago

walbourn commented 2 years ago

Visual Studio 2017 reaches it's mainstream end-of-life on April 12, 2022. I should retire these projects that time:

DirectXTK_Desktop_2017_Win10.vcxproj
DirectXTK_GDK_2017.vcxproj
DirectXTK_Windows10_2017.vcxproj

Along with all the associated test suite VS 2017 projects.

I am not sure when I'll be retiring Xbox One XDK support which is not supported for VS 2019 or later. That means I'm not sure if I'll delete DirectXTK_XboxOneXDK_2017.vcxproj or not with this change.

I'll remove desktop and UWP support for VS 2017 in April. GDK support for VS 2017 will get removed later this year. XDK support which requires VS 2017 (15.9) will be kept until 2023.
