I am working on a VS 2019 Extension that is currently using .NET Framework (4.8). I want to upgrade it to .NET 5.0 but the VSIX project does not support it or any .NET Core version. I want to avoid .NET Standard if at all possible. I can find no info on the next Visual Studio version (2021?) and if .NET 5.0 VSIX projects will be supported or not. I would think Microsoft would be working on this but on the other hand VS is still a 32 bit app. :-) Sorry if this is not the right venue but this is my first question here.

Your main extension must be x86 .NET Framework, as it is hosted by the VS process. You could move some your your functions to .NET Standard 2.0, or to a .NET Core 5.0 console app.
