Congrats !
What is the purpose of the Visual Studio 2022 extension **AlterNET Studio v9** , which is installed automatically?

Thank you!
The AlterNET Studio extension is responsible for updating the Visual Studio toolbox and registering a few property editors for our controls (such as the FlagEnumeration editor that shows a checklist box for various Options properties at design time)
In case you’re using our components via NuGet packages, this extension is not relevant.
Kind regards,
Dmitry
