How to Convert .Net Framework to .Net Core

Why Is Migration from .NET Framework to .NET Core Relevant?

.NET (earlier they referred it to as .NET core) is designed for cross-platform soft development. Microsoft polished up .NET framework and this is how .NET has been introduced to the world. Yes, it’s the ancestor of .NET framework, but with a broader scope of use. We use .Net framework for web applications or Windows applications, but the software developed with .NET can function in full on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

OS support is important, but there’s more to .NET. Dot Net framework for application development limits the construction in several ways:

.NET comes with an Entity Framework that keeps object-relational within bounds.

Microsoft itself recommends porting from .NET Framework to .NET as no updates will arrive for .NET framework.

Cutting-edge .NET application architecture leaves standing .NET framework apps.

The porting process is complex, but porting an app will definitely pay your efforts off. So, let’s discuss how to understand when it’s time to convert a project to .NET Core.

In What Cases .NET Framework to .NET Core Migration Makes Sense

Migration .NET framework to .NET is complex, and it’s a matter of the need that arises at some point. Several reasons can stipulate the need for migration:

Linux & macOS Support

The first and foremost reason for migration is that an app can be run on other OSs, not only Windows. .NET ?ore technology opens the doors to the new markets.

Better Performance

The function selection option achieves better performance. Unlike, .NET framework, .NET makes it possible to implement just particular features.

Open Source

Thanks to having an open source code, .NET software engineers can improve the quality of the frameworks and fix any errors if any. Code updates and bug fixes don’t interrupt the .Net based applications work.

Package Compatibility

There may be a problem arise when it comes to package libraries’ compatibility. Packages depend on each other, but some libraries' versions in packages may not get along. To address this issue, it’s a good idea to migrate to .NET. .NET has a built-in package manager.

Surely, you may come up with your own reasons to move to .NET Core, but one thing remains the same—high-quality .NET ?ore migration is to be done by professional .NET software developers. Celadonsoft developers are experienced in .NET app development and our list of .NET development service is vast and includes migration.

.NET Migration by Celadonsoft

Nowadays, the digital market has migration tools to offer. Automated migration sounds good, but it’s not perfect. We recommend going for manual migration by professional outsourcing .NET Development company. Celadonsoft’s engineers know all the nitty-gritty of .NET Core and .NET framework, that contributes to the smooth and quick migration.

Our experience in .NET migration services has helped us to come up with a 4-stage implementation of .NET migration:

• We start with code investigations to estimate the degree of .NET framework compatibility with .NET Core
• Then we select the method to carry out the migration. .NET framework supports windows and to decide on the right strategy, we need to evaluate the share of windows-particular elements in code, and code complexity.
• .csprojs files are translated into the Microsoft.NET.Sdk.
• And finally, code porting to .NET or .NET Standard.
• When the project is converted, you can count on us in post-deployment .Net application support and maintenance.
