Coding Short: Upgrade Your .NET Framework Projects with the Upgrade Assistant

A lot of us have .NET Framework projects that we want to port to .NET Core. Microsoft has an Upgrade Assistant to give us a leg up. Let me show you how it works:

Your enthusiasm for programming is contagious! It motivates me to keep learning.

Great video, Sir!
Clear, concise and placed together well! I definitely can learn a lot from you in many ways. Thank you, Mr. Wildermuth!
Btw, YouTube main page had recommended me to your channel based on my prior searches.

Really enjoy your videos. Your delivery pace and style are excellent. You don't sound preachy as some content providers. It's easy to feel your true sense of wanting to help others become better programmers by delivering great content superbly. I feel I could sit next to you for a pair programming session and come away with having gained so much knowledge. I also like how you take some of the newer things and break the down in a way that makes me want to try it. These shorts are great because they are well encapsulated and always something useful that we have to face every day. Thanks for bringing back the joy again in learning rather than feeling I'm always drinking from the firehose and panicked.

I really appreciate you editing out all the little bits and bobs that are not the actual content. Thank you!

Your content is great, I liked your pluralsight courses too - here's one for the algorithm

Hi Shawn, I would like to learn more about it like how did you manage this on production? Were both sites deployed, or the new site was deployed after the migration process was done completely? What about third-party components? Did you face any challenge during migration?

Helped me a bit but its still a nightmare upgrading a .net 2.8 project to .net 8 😂

This is quite relevant to a large project in which I’m currently involved. It’s going to be a long process for us. Lots of code to untangle, if you will, before we can even bring in the YARP. Good video. Thanks for the walk through!

ive looking into extension sections and it wasnt there

Thanks for the helpful video. When I attempt to upgrade the controllers, the drop down menu where controllers should appear is empty. Same for classes. Do you have any idea what could be causing this issue?
