Dear Engineer,
Microsoft posted an article on 24th Oct 2024 about the Microsoft design-time support policy. I have apps that still use .Net 7 and which utilise older .Net 6 components (which are no longer supported as the company is no longer in business).
At times I still need to make small changes to my .Net 7 application, can you please let me know if there is a date that the VS IDE 2022 will not support .Net 7 (or lower) in the Designer?
As I know this support will end, I have started creating a new application (in .Net 10) that no longer uses the .Net 6 components. I would like to understand what timeline I have.

Kind regards
