Legacy applications can pose security risks and hinder the adoption of modern performance enhancements and developer productivity features.
Microsoft's .NET Upgrade Assistant aims to automate the migration process from older .NET Framework and .NET Core projects to newer .NET versions.
The .NET Upgrade Assistant is an open-source command-line tool with a Visual Studio extension that helps transition legacy projects to modern .NET editions such as .NET 6, .NET 7, .NET 8, .NET 9, and future versions.
By analyzing dependencies, configuration files, and codebases, the tool suggests and automates many required changes, reducing manual work and potential errors.
