When i work on a new C# Project with Jetbrains Rider is this project compatible with the Visual Studio IDE?

I want to use Jetbrians Rider at work, but my colleagues say that I can use it only if the Rider projects are compatible with the Visual Studio IDE.

So is it compatible?

By definition, C# project files are just MSBuild scripts. So, as long as your VS/Rider versions use the compatible MSBuild versions, then the project files can be shared between the two IDEs.

You can learn how to tell MSBuild versions from posts like mine.

However, in real world situation Rider/VS compatibility is rather difficult to assert. File bugs to Rider if you find any incompatibility issue,
