A .NET global tool that converts legacy Visual Studio project files (pre-2017 csproj) to the modern SDK-style format used by VS2017/2019+. It shortens project files by using wildcards, simplified references, and inline NuGet/AssemblyInfo settings.

Use cases

  • convert old csproj to new visual studio 2017 format
  • migrate .net project to sdk-style csproj
  • upgrade vs2015 project files to vs2019
  • clean up verbose csproj with wildcard includes
  • batch migrate solution projects to modern format

When to choose

  • you have legacy non-SDK csproj files you want modernized
  • you want smaller, cleaner project files with wildcard includes
  • you need an automated, scriptable migration via dotnet tool

When to avoid

  • your project is already SDK-style
  • you rely on exotic legacy MSBuild features the converter may not handle
  • you need a GUI-based migration
