Updating your applications to .NET 6
Upgrading your .NET Framework applications to .NET 6 is the best way to ensure you have a path forward to keep adding new features, integrating more and more with the Windows ecosystem, and leveraging the latest enhancements in the language and the tooling.
Migrating an application based on the full .NET Framework to .NET 6 can have a very different outcome based on many factors. There isn't a golden rule, but it depends on scenarios such as the following:
- The complexity of the solution
- The usage of libraries or third-party controls that haven't been migrated to the new ecosystem
- The usage of APIs or features that are considered deprecated and, as such, haven't been ported to the new .NET ecosystem, such as Application Domains, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) servers, and Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)
Let's see what strategies we can adopt to migrate our .NET Framework projects.
