Visual studio professional vs Enterprise with regards to "Embedded Assemblies"

[gabsamples6]

Hi all
Wondering if someone could clarify what "Embedded Assemblies" feature for enterprise only means ,

Researching on the web and AI - all have conflicting answers ... Can someone clarify and identify the benefits of having this feature

is this true?

There is no difference in embedded assembly support between Professional and Enterprise.
It's a .NET MAUI SDK capability, not gated by VS edition.

thanks

I am not sure about this, but logically, I would asume embedded assembly from MAUI does not differ which Visual Studio version are you using. For example, I can use Visual Studio Enterprise or any other editor and I can access the same MAUI Functionality. I think your above answer is correct.

What your AI said? CoPilot is also said your answer is correct.

this is the problem - I wanted to find an official answer - my gut feeling and knowledge says there is no difference and "embedded assembly is not gated by version but than why the official microsoft website https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/compare/ says that there is a difference

@gabsamples6 is this answer related to MAUI as well? (CoPilot AI found it :))

that answer is very old, also thinking of it, what about if someone uses vs code , how does it work there , it must be not gated to VS ? I guess we will never get an official reply

I think it's more of how the code is assembled, rather then how to use it @gabsamples6 .
