FAQPage Schema
How do I assess my .NET Framework application for migration to modern .NET versions?

To assess .NET modernization readiness, analyze your solution files, runtime versions, and NuGet package dependencies to evaluate compatibility and identify breaking changes before upgrading from legacy .NET Framework versions.

What is the best way to plan a .NET upgrade from legacy versions to .NET 5 or above?

Planning a .NET upgrade involves creating phased migration plans with risk controls based on your compatibility assessment. This structured approach identifies necessary dependency remediation and test strategies for safely executing the modernization.

Can I execute .NET application migrations using dotnet, msbuild, and pwsh environments?

Yes, you can execute .NET application migrations using dotnet, msbuild, and pwsh environments. The process performs dependency remediation and applies test strategies within your existing bash and NuGet workflows.

How do I handle NuGet package dependencies when upgrading to modern .NET?

Handling NuGet package dependencies during .NET modernization requires analyzing package compatibility against target runtime versions. The execution stage provides detailed dependency remediation recommendations to resolve breaking changes.

Does .NET modernization work with solutions that have complex multi-project dependency trees?

.NET modernization handles complex multi-project dependency trees by analyzing solution files and runtime versions across the entire solution. It assesses compatibility holistically to create comprehensive migration plans for all interconnected projects.
