try-convert is a .NET CLI global tool that converts legacy .NET Framework projects (including WinForms and WPF) to the modern SDK-style project format for .NET Core/.NET 5+. It automates rewriting project files to ease migration.
Use cases
- convert .NET Framework project to .NET Core
- migrate WPF app to modern .NET
- upgrade csproj to SDK-style format
- port WinForms project to .NET 6
- batch convert solution projects to new project format
When to choose
- you have legacy .NET Framework csproj files you want to move to SDK-style projects
- you are migrating WinForms or WPF apps to modern .NET on Windows
When to avoid
- you are on Linux or macOS - the tool only works on Windows
- your project needs complex manual migration beyond simple project file conversion
- you rely on Visual Studio developer command prompt MSBuild resolution
