Pull request overview
This PR updates the Roslyn analyzer tutorial to reflect modern Visual Studio's project creation workflow. The original issue (#26719) reported that navigation instructions using "Visual C# > Extensibility" no longer work in current Visual Studio versions. The PR addresses this by replacing hierarchical navigation with a search-based approach, which is the current standard for finding project templates in Visual Studio.
Changes:
- Updated project creation instructions to use search box instead of obsolete navigation paths
- Modernized documentation style throughout the tutorial (active voice, contractions, present tense)
- Updated Visual Studio version requirements to be more generic
- Added installation instructions for .NET Compiler Platform SDK with "Modify" button steps
