Description
Describe the issue
In C# Dev Kit v11, the C# Project Details view shows projects directly at the root and does not include a solution node. This occurs both when a solution is open and when C# Dev Kit is running in workspace development mode.
Without a solution node, the tree does not represent the solution-to-project hierarchy and makes it harder to understand which solution contains the displayed projects.
Collect logs
Not collected.
Steps to reproduce
With a solution open
- Open a C# solution in VS Code.
- Open the C# Project Details view.
- Observe that the project appears at the root of the tree and no solution node is shown.
In workspace development mode
- Open a C# workspace in workspace development mode.
- Open the C# Project Details view.
- Observe that projects appear at the root of the tree and no solution node is shown.
Expected behavior
The C# Project Details view should show a solution node with its projects nested beneath it, both when a solution is explicitly open and when using workspace development mode.
Actual behavior
Projects are displayed directly at the root of C# Project Details. The status bar identifies the active solution, but the corresponding solution node is absent from the tree.
Environment information
- C# Dev Kit version: v11
- Reproduces with: An open solution and workspace development mode
