In the blog "What’s New for Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2022" it mentions "check out the Upgrade Assistant which now supports Visual Basic" in order to upgrade Visual Basic apps. Where can I find this in the Upgrade Assistant? Thanks for your help!

does it work well on bigger projects that contain a lot of other projects and libraries as assembly references?

Hi great video. When upgrading controllers I stumble upon Errors (aside of Succes an Skipped). Are the error description available (it sais now "Error no messages) or is this something to investigate and fix manually without error-description.
We have a (azure) solution with 40 projects existing from library classes, Webapi, WebMVC5, Function and XUnit projects, what is the recommended approach?

[KosPerera]

Wonder how it works for Service Fabric stateless apps! 🤔

[davidemmanuel]

[sarthakchauhan]

Is it available on preview or latest stable version of Visual studio

Hi, I am trying to upgrade my dotnet core 2.2 project to 8. I consist ReactJS for front end, WE have node 16.16.0 it works well on my local after upgrade to dot net 8, but when I try to create Azure DevOps build pipeline it fails at publish step. DO I have to upgrade my React code also with the dotnet code?
