Since I’ve been working with the community on porting desktop applications from .NET Framework to .NET Core, I’ve noticed that there are two camps of folks: some want a very simple and short list of instructions to get their apps ported to .NET Core while others prefer a more principled approach with more background information. Instead of writing up a “Swiss Army knife”-document, we are going to publish two blog posts, one for each camp:
- This post is the simple case. It’s focused on simple instructions and smaller applications and is the easiest way to move your app to .NET Core.
- We will publish another post for more complicated cases. This post will focus more on non-trivial applications, such WPF application with dependencies on WCF and third-party UI packages.
If you prefer watching videos instead of reading, here is the video where I do everything that is described below.
