Visual Studio IntelliCode 2.2 AI-assisted development for Visual Studio.

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone the repository, for example using GitHub CLI: gh repo clone microsoft/terminal
2. Open the folder in Powershell
3. Run the steps to setup code formatting:

   Import-Module .\tools\OpenConsole.psm1
   Set-MsBuildDevEnvironment
   Get-Format

4. Type ./OpenConsole.sln to open the solution in visual studio
5. Get a warning at the top of visual studio:

Expected Behavior

The configuration mappings should be correct.

Selecting the cascadia package and trying to run it should work instead of showing the following error:

Actual Behavior

There should be no configuration mapping warnings. Ideally, the "Any CPU" architecture should not be the default.

Is it even possible to set the default configuration for a sln? I was under the impression it always defaults to the first alphabetically, which is why it defaults to AnyCpu, despite the interesting projects being native.

I suppose, if we picked x64 as the default, there'd be someone out there stuck on x86 that's upset about that, but x64 sure does seem like a more reasonable default.

[marcelwgn]

Yeah unfortunately VS sorts them alphabetically. But is Any CPU actually needed for anything or could we remove that so the default actually makes sense for the project?

[zadjii-msft]

Alas, I believe it's used for the WPF control (and a couple test helpers). My C#-fu isn't strong, but I think those projects need to remain AnyCPU...

[marcelwgn]

Fwiw, I changed the target for the single project that has an Any CPU configuration when choosing x64 as the solution configuration to x64 too and everything seemed to work fine. And as far as my C# knowledge goes it should also work (WinUI 3 apps also do that IIRC).
