Solution File Format (slnx)

By default, this template uses the new .slnx (XML-based solution) format introduced in .NET 9. This modern format is more maintainable and easier to version control compared to the legacy .sln format.

If you need to use the legacy .sln format, use the --sln true parameter when creating the template.
