Using SLNX in Visual Studio

Starting with version 100, all Krypton source code supports Visual Studio's slnx file formats. The question you might be asking yourself is why the change? There is a very simple answer... simplicity!

For 20+ years, the default format has been sln. The issue is that the file structure is incredibly messy to deal with.

With the new slnx file format, it's entirely XML based, which means it is more maintainable.
