Conflicting statements regarding which MSBuild/VS versions are supported by 8.0 SDKs #42692
Open
Description
Describe the issue or suggestion
From what I could find there are at least three places that state the minimum MSBuild/VS versions supported by each feature band of the .NET SDK.
- The dedicated documentation page
- The .NET download page inlcudes "Visual Studio support" for each SDK
- One of the .NET 8 breaking changes announcement announces changes to the rules.
All of these places disagree on what is compatible and what isn't. Below are the compatible MSBuild/VS version according to each.
| SDK Version | Documentation page | Download page (as of release 8.0.8) | Breaking changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8.0.1xx | 17.7 | 17.8 | 17.7 |
| 8.0.2xx | 17.8 | N/A | 17.8 |
| 8.0.3xx | 17.8 | 17.10 | 17.8 |
| 8.0.4xx | 17.8 | 17.11 | 17.9 |
After "falling in the trap" of believing the documentation page and getting a really poor error message from VS 17.8 with SDK 8.0.400, I believe that the information on the breaking changes page is the one that is correct. but I don't really know.
These version support tables should be unified to contain the correct information in all places.
