SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the complex process of upgrading .NET projects to newer framework versions, minimizing manual effort and potential errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Analysis: Assesses project structure, dependencies, and compatibility for upgrade.
  • Strategic Planning: Recommends upgrade order, incremental strategies, and rollback points.
  • Code Modernization: Identifies and suggests modernizations for APIs, async patterns, and configurations.
  • Dependency Management: Analyzes and suggests updates for NuGet packages and transitive dependencies.
  • CI/CD & Testing: Provides guidance on updating build pipelines and implementing validation strategies.
  • Use Case: You need to upgrade a large .NET Framework solution to .NET 8. This Skill will guide you through analyzing dependencies, planning the upgrade sequence, identifying code changes, and updating your CI/CD pipelines.

Quick Start

Use the dotnet-upgrade skill to analyze the current .NET Framework solution and propose an upgrade strategy to .NET 8.

Frequently Asked Questions about dotnet-upgrade

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade a large .NET Framework solution to .NET 8?▼

Upgrading a .NET Framework solution to .NET 8 requires analyzing project dependencies, planning an incremental upgrade sequence, modernizing code APIs, and updating CI/CD pipelines. The process provides strategic rollback points and dependency compatibility mapping to ensure a smooth migration.

What is the best way to handle NuGet package compatibility during a .NET migration?▼

Handling NuGet package compatibility during a .NET migration requires analyzing transitive dependencies and suggesting package updates. This ensures that all libraries align with the target framework version, preventing runtime conflicts and build failures before executing the code modernization phase.

Does .NET upgrade analysis cover CI/CD pipeline updates and testing strategies?▼

Yes, .NET upgrade analysis covers CI/CD pipeline updates and testing strategies. It provides specific guidance on updating build pipelines and implementing validation strategies to ensure that your continuous integration processes function correctly after the framework migration.

How do I identify breaking changes and code modernization opportunities in C# migration?▼

To identify breaking changes and code modernization opportunities in C# migration, you perform a comprehensive framework analysis. This analysis detects outdated APIs, suggests modern async patterns, and highlights necessary configuration updates to align your codebase with newer framework standards.

Can I get an incremental upgrade strategy with rollback points for .NET projects?▼

Yes, you can get an incremental upgrade strategy with rollback points for .NET projects. Strategic planning recommends the specific upgrade order, divides the migration into manageable steps, and defines rollback points to safeguard against critical failures during the transition.

When should I not use an automated .NET upgrade assistant?▼

You should not use an automated .NET upgrade assistant when your project lacks comprehensive test coverage or contains heavily customized legacy dependencies that cannot be mapped to modern NuGet packages. Without validation strategies, automated code modernization may introduce undetected runtime errors.
