This PR adds a modern XML-based solution file (.slnx) to the repository using the dotnet solution migrate command, as requested in the issue. The .slnx format is the new solution file format introduced in .NET 9 SDK.

Changes

  • Generated IntelliTect.Multitool.slnx using dotnet solution migrate IntelliTect.Multitool.sln
  • The existing IntelliTect.Multitool.sln file is retained for backwards compatibility with older versions of Visual Studio and .NET SDK

Benefits

The .slnx format provides several advantages over the traditional .sln format:

  • Human-readable XML structure - easier to understand and parse
  • Better for version control - cleaner diffs and merge conflicts
  • Modern format - aligned with .NET 9+ tooling

Compatibility

Both solution files now coexist in the repository:

  • .sln file - maintains compatibility with .NET 8 SDK, Visual Studio 2022, and earlier versions
  • .slnx file - provides modern solution format for .NET 9+ SDK and future Visual Studio versions

The repository continues to build successfully with .NET 8 SDK, ensuring no breaking changes for existing workflows.
