Description
Brief description of your issue
I brought up the solution in Visual Studio 2026 and got an error about the infrastructure project not being compatible.
From some quick research sounds like support for *.deployproj ARM projects has been removed and the recommendation is to move to bicep.
Because the project is incompatible, Visual Studio 2026 will not allow you to view/edit any files in this project while working with the whole solution.
Work-around: Use VS2022 or another edit for this project.
Steps to reproduce
Open solution in Visual Studio 2026.
Expected behavior
No error occurs.
Can view/edit files in the project from within Visual Studio 2026.
Actual behavior
Initially see a pop-up with details about the error with the project.
After that when you open project just shows as incompatible.
Environment
Visual Studio 2026

Research direction
Open the solution in Visual Studio 2026 and inspect the incompatible infrastructure project and its *.deployproj files. Determine the migration scope to Bicep, then verify that the solution opens without the compatibility error and that the infrastructure files can be viewed and edited in Visual Studio 2026.
