Currently in preview is a new file format for Visual Studio Solution Files, the XML Solution File with the .slnx file extension.
The DevKit does not recogize these as solution files. And with default settings it will actually create a legacy .sln file next to it (unless the setting dotnet.automaticallyCreateSolutionInWorkspace is set to false).
Since the new .slnx makes it easier to modify solutions in a simple text editor without the need for a fully fledged IDE, it is a natural evolution for the Solution Explorer and solution related features in the DevKit.
Alternatives considered
There is always the possiblity to revert back to the .sln file format.
Environment Information
OS: Windows 22, version 22H2 (should be irrelevant for this feature)
