Microsoft announces Visual Studio extension for upgrading .NET projects

The team at Microsoft has announced an extension in Visual Studio that allows users to upgrade their .NET Framework or .NET Core web and desktop applications directly within Visual Studio. 

According to the blog post, if a user’s application is built for .NET Framework or .NET Core, now is the time to upgrade to .NET 6 (Long Term Support version) or .NET 7 (Standard Term Support version) in order to gain performance enhancements as well as access to new features and capabilities.

After the Upgrade Assistant extension is installed, customers are enabled to upgrade every type of .NET application from any initial version by right-clicking on the project in Solution Explorer and choosing “Upgrade.”

The team stated that Upgrade Assistant is intended to take care of the mechanics, however, depending on what framework and project type a user is upgrading from, they should expect to do some manual post-processing to be sure that no breaking changes were missed.

In the latest version, this tool currently supports ASP.NET, Class libraries, Console, WPF, and WinForms. Support for Xamarin to .NET MAUI migration, UWP to WinUI migration, and WCF to WCF Core migration are already in development.

There are three different upgrade types supported by Upgrade Assistant: in-place, side-by-side, and side-be-side incremental.

In-place upgrading only shows the user options that would work well for their specific app, side-by-side upgrades the user’s original project all at once, and side-by-side incremental attaches a copy of the original containing the upgraded code to the solution.

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are dec...
