Is there any way to edit the WIT files using the Visual Studio 2022 Enterprise version ?, though there are different extensions available for 2017/2019 etc, but How i can do the same in VS2022 ?
I just found your post from 6 hrs ago looking for the same.
We only have this for 2019 that I can find. This only updates VS2019 unfortunately. You do have the less than good option to run VS2019 community for accessing the editor, but I'm not sure about licensing.

From what I see, Microsoft is instructing to export and modify some existing template, manually editing XML and related files, and then re-uploading the edits as a new template.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/work-items/guidance/manage-process-templates?view=azure-devops-2020&tabs=visual-studio-2019
I recommend using VS2019 process editor instead.

We have on-prem Azure DevOps 2020 installed. We built a .net core 6 app in Visual Studio 2022.
However, when creating the build pipeline, VS 2022 is not showing up in the dropdown.
Has anyone faced this problem? Is MSFT supposed to release a patch that will start displaying VS 2022 in the dropdown?
Many people are running into this. No word from MS yet on when or if an update will be available. But these articles may help you find a workaround:
How do I update my Azure DevOps on-premise Pipeline tasks to include MSBuild v17 and Visual Studio 2022?

FWIW, I'm working around it by using an explicit MSBuild path as mentioned in this answer. I added a PreferredMSBuildExePath variable to my pipeline and set it equal to %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\MSBuild\Current\Bin\amd64\MSBuild.exe. Then I made all my MSBuild steps use $(PreferredMSBuildExePath) as their MSBuild path under Specify Location. I also converted all my Visual Studio steps to MSBuild steps so I could use this explicit path variable.
We started using Visual Studio 2022, but after few days we'v got this terrible news:
VS2022 doesn't support RDLC designer.
Is there a workaround?
Sure we can continue to use VS2019 in parallel, but it's too uncomfortable.
Ok, we have just found this thread:
Developer Community Visual Studio RDLC design in 2022
We'll keep it monitored, but at the moment they don't have release a new tool.
A workaround seem to be this (quoted in the link above):
A workaround until the designer is officially supported is to download Microsoft Report Builder and use it in editing your reports, Demo: https://youtu.be/3Wss8bvzjiE
EDIT:
Released for 2022!
I have had to replace my laptop. One of the applications I have needed to install is Visual Studio Community 2019 since I rely on some programs which I wrote in VB. My memory of the 2015 version is that I just installed it. With the 2019 version, I must specify which components I need. Given how many components are available, I can see why they cannot install everything. I need access the Excel interop and have downloaded every component that might give access to the interop without any apparent success. The statement Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel gives the error “{) Namespace Microsoft. Namespace or type specified in the Imports ‘Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel’ does not contain any public member or cannot be found.”
Searching for help, I found: “to use the features of a Microsoft Office application from an Office project, you must use the primary interop assembly (PIA) for the application.” For my 64-bit computer, these should, apparently, be installed in “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\”.
I find that folder “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Visual Studio Tools for Office\PIA\” contains subfolders “Office14” and “Office15”. Each of these subfolders contains a different set of PIAs. Both contain “Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll” with the Office 14 version dated 31Mar2015 and the Office 15 version dated 7Oct2015.
I use Office version 15. Should I move the PIAs I want from folder “PIA\Office15” to folder “PIA” or have I misunderstood something else?
You can try to install the Nuget package Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel form Nuget Package Manager.
First, right click the project and select Manage NuGet Packages....
Then type Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel in the search bar and install it:
Kyle Wang’s answer allowed me to solve my problem. However, his images and descriptions differed from my experience with Visual Studio 2019. I suspect he uses an earlier version. This answer documents my experience with Visual Studio Community 2019 in the hope that other can benefit from my troubles.
With Visual Studio 2015, the version I have been using, only Visual Studio is installed. With Visual Studio 2019, Visual Studio Installer is also installed.
If I open Visual Studio Installer I see:
If I click Modify, I see:
If I scroll down a little I see:
The blue ticks in the righthand corner identify the workloads I have already installed.
If I click Individual Components, I see:
I am unsure which components were downloaded because they were included in a selected workload and which were downloaded because I selected every component that might include the Excel InterOp I was looking for. I will probably uninstall Visual Studio and re-install now I know what I need.
If I scroll down enough, I see:
I definitely needed to download NuGet package manager if I want access to the Excel InterOp. I do not know if I needed NuGet targets and build tasks. If I re-install Visual Studio I will try without NuGet targets and build tasks and update this answer to report if it is needed. I have not found any documentation describing the significance of these components, so it seems you need to experiment to determine what components you need.
Once you have selected the workloads and or individual components you want, click Modify in the bottom righthand corner. A progress screen is displayed while the installation is performed. When it has finished, close Visual Studio Installer.
Open Visual Studio 2019 and then create or open the solution that requires the Excel InterOp. The fourth tab in the top row is Project. Click it. The bottom but one line in the dropdown menu is Manage NuGet Packages…. Click it. You will see:
Click Browse to get:
https://www.nuget.org/ claims they hold 2,031,503 versions of 181,450 unique packages. As far as I can tell, they are displayed in order of download numbers. For example, Newtonsoft.Json has been downloaded 320.5 million times. To find any particular package you must use search. Searching for “microsoft.office.interop” reduces the list to something manageable with the Excel Interop at the top. Select the package you need and click Install on the right.
As mentioned in the title I am having an issue with a Visual Studio Project.
I have decided to use Visual Studio 2013 (latest version through dream spark) to code with Unity 3D (also the latest version) as I am having issues with MonoDevelop crashing and I use Visual Studio for other stuff anyway so it is convenient.
I have to use an external dll for my Unity game and I find every time I start a new session the dll file is gone in the references tab in the Solution Explorer (in Visual Studio) and I have to re-add it manually. Is there some sort of global references list I can add this to to prevent that issue? I've had a look and can't find anything but I also don't know what I am looking for.
In the past I have only used Visual Studio 2010 Professional for C#, but now I need to work on a little bit of Visual Basic. When I go to create a project it only shows C# project templates. I am assuming when I installed Visual Studio 2010, I only installed C#.
How do I now install VB.NET support?
I tried following a MS tutorial: I went to Control Panel and selected Change/Uninstall on Visual Studio, but then it asked me to insert a CD, of which I have none since it was donwloaded.
Nevermind I figured it out. (win7) Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Uninstall/Change on Visual Studio -> then when you hit the Add/Remove features and you get the popup asking about the cd (which is where I assumed i was stuck before) if you hit Download it takes you to the dialog where you choose additional languages to install and it worked.
I apologize for my earlier flippant comment, and offer you
