Hi,

I think the question says it all... if the answer is yes, is there any time frame?

Regards,

    Hi again Eric,  :) 

    We are planning to support Visual Studio 2022.  Our SQL Prompt team has starting to look into this to understand how big the changes are.  We are waiting for some more information from Microsoft on when it moves from preview to release candidate, so unfortunately I don't have a timeframe yet.

    Thanks!
    Stephanie   :-)  
    Thank you!

    Good news!  We have a beta release available.  If you'd like to try this release, then please get in touch with support@red-gate.com for the installer.  We hope to have the full release available on the marketplace soon.

    Thank you for your patience.
    Thank you!

    hi Stephanie,

    Sorry for the late reply...

    It's great to know you're going to support VS 2022!
    If you need a beta tester, I'm available !

    regards,

    Eric

    Stephanie,

    OK, VS 2022 is officially released.  You should have been ready to release.  I know it's been only a week, but of all my third party tools, you guys are the only one not available/ready.  No extensions for Redgate in VS 2022 currently exist.  Particularly SQL Change Automation.

    Thanks, Greg

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi. 

    The team is currently working on this and have met with the SQL Prompt team to learn about the issues they faced with supporting this new version.  We have a catch-up on Mon and I hope to know more then.  I'll add a reminder on my calendar to post another update then.

    Thanks for chasing this.
    Thank you!

    Hello,

    Can we AT LEAST get a timetable?  You guys are really dragging your feet on this one.  I'm used to this from other third party providers, but I am not used to this from Redgate.

    Guys come on! Yes it will be nice to have support for 2022, but how do you know they are dragging their feet? It can be much more complex than you think it is.

    Anyway, 2022 is still a month away :upside down:

    Complexity has nothing to do with it.  Communication is the issue.  If 2022 caused massive breaking changes, fine, communicate that.  If they have to redesign the entire process because of .NET 6, fine, communicate that.  Saying "the team is working on it" is not communication, it is stonewalling.

    I can except a delay with meaningful communication, and I don't need all the nitty gritty details, just something more than "we're working on it".  I see this A LOT with other vendors, usually smaller ones.  Redgate usually does a really good job at communicating on issues, but they are strangely silent on this one, which is concerning.

    Hi Greg,

    By yelling and telling them that they are dragging their feet, they will communicate better?

    I guess if you're using this tool, you know that software development is not always simple and yes,
    sometimes you think you can have it done rapidly and it ends up taking more time.

    I guess what I'm trying to say is: Be nice and understanding when asking for information, you might be surprised.

    We are actively working on this and plan to release at the beginning of Jan.  There were a lot of little changes with this release that required more work than expected.  There are also changes that we need to make so we don’t break the previous versions of Visual Studio.  We’ll post again once it’s available.  Thanks for bearing with us. 
    Thank you!

    @StephanieHerr thanks for the feedback last year, Any updates? It's almost mid Jan, and the lack of VS 2022 support is holding our team up from moving to .Net 6 for our project.
    Cheers,
    Adam

    @StephanieHerr
    any update on this 1 month later?
    I understand it's probably a bigger undertaking porting from 32bit to 64bit support.
    What I don't quite understand is why you plan to support the older 32bit VS with the same installer as the 64bit.
    I guess it's probably time to maintain 2 different sources/solutions (one for 32 and one for 64 bit).
    I really hope your company can stem these efforts.
    Please let us know how it's going and provide an updated eta. IMHO I would definitely prioritize of releaseing a working VS 2022 installer asap over reusing the existing installer for all Visual Studios. It's 3 months now...
    What puzzles me most is that you seem to be quite far away from being in the loop with the product that you develop the extensions for. I assume you could have made effort earlier on, testing with preview releases :/
    anyway, wish you all the best and hope a stable release is available soon :)

    In the process of moving over to VS2022, was surprised that SCA is not available and found this thread. @StephanieHerr any update on this?

    Hi.  I was hoping to post some good news, but unfortunately, we hit another issue.  This is the number one priority for the team and they think they have a fix.  I will post another update tomorrow with some more information after the team has had a chance to try the fix.  Thank you for your patience.  
    Thank you!

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, we are still hitting issues with the installer.  We worked around this and started more testing. We found an issue in the tool that we're trying to fix and will need to re-test. This is the team’s number one priority.

    We love beta testers, but we don’t have a release for this yet due to the issue found. 
     
    I'm sorry I don't have better news. I will continue to post updates here and will post as soon as we have a release. 
     
    Thanks for your understanding! 
    Thank you!

    Please see the answer above.  We have a beta release available.  I scrolled to the bottom and missed it.  We have a few beta testers now and if all goes well, we should have fully on marketplace soon.  Thank you!

    Hello, do you all have an ETA for the public release of SCA to Visual Studio 2022 marketplace?
    Thanks
