Great video, served me well to open a project that was written with .NET Framework 4.0 (And apparently, VS 2010).

I am in the middle of upgrading a .net framework 4.8 app to .net 7. We decided to go with an incremental update, and the end result of the solution should be something similar to "Clean architecture." After that, things went well since we had the team share an idea of what the end result would be like.

Just saw that .NET 1.1 was the oldest environment someone was using. Welllll .. I am right now in the midst of doing a conversion from Visual Basic 6!!! Not even .NET. I am bringing that to .NET 8 but also changing the whole architecture behind it while retaining the global visual appearance.

VB6?! Woooooooooooow. You are a legend, sir. What have been the challenges of maintaining a VB6 app in 2024?

About libraries that don't have a .net standard version: devBiz was bought by Microsoft and their libraries was simply dropped. That's libraries for compression, mail, dns etc. One of the things that makes us putting off upgrading.

How would you recommend targeting net6 & net8 for a library given that there are breaking changes in net8. Not all of the consuming projects will have been migrated to net8. If I target net8 & netstandard2.0 then that is really to support net4.8.

"breaking changes" depends whether they apply to you and your team or not. .NET Standard is really a list of supported APIs. Think of .NET Standard as an interface, "IDotNet" if you may. The runtime of the consuming application is used to execute those APIs. It's still OK to use .NET Standard 2.0 or 2.1, it's just we're not getting any new future versions.

Microsoft probably need to develop some kind of an advanced AI assistant for migrating to modern .NET since they cooperate with OpenAI.

It might be possible, but imho, I wouldn't trust an AI blindly with an upgrade. The intricate changes between dependencies and behaviors can compound to a severely broken app. Slow and steady wins the race, and human intelligence, let's goooooooooo! 💪
