Technical requirements
You will need the following software installed on your computer to complete the migration walk-through shown in the Upgrading a .NET Framework example app section:
- Visual Studio 2019 16.8 or higher (any edition is fine). This is needed to work with .NET Framework and .NET 5 solution files.
- SQL Server Express LocalDB 2019. This is typically installed along with Visual Studio 2019, so separate installation is not required.
- .NET 5 SDK, which can be downloaded from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0.
- To run legacy code in the example app, you will need .NET Framework 4.7.2 and .NET Framework 4.8 installed.
- .NET Framework 4.7.2 can be downloaded from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net472.
- .NET Framework 4.8 can be downloaded from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net48.
