While this comment is being updated to remove version-specific references, there are two other similar Visual Studio version references in this file that remain unchanged:

  • Line 44: "# Visual Studio 2017 auto generated files"
  • Line 379: "# Backup folder for Package Reference Convert tool in Visual Studio 2017"

For consistency with the approach of this PR (removing version-specific references to avoid confusion), consider updating these references as well. These features also apply to newer Visual Studio versions beyond 2017.

@copilot make suggestion comments on this PR so I can apply those changes here rather than requiring a new PR.

I made the changes in b3ed4c0 directly. Ignore the copilot PR.
