I just tried to up a Solution with two projects that were built on .NET 5 to .NET 6. One of the projects seemed to upgrade just fine. But the other project is still targeting .NET 5. I have tried to copy that project to another folder and re-analyze, but it just skips the upgrade and jumps to Finalize Upgrade.

Also when I did the original migration of the solution, it only made a back up of the first project I had marked as the entry point.

Can you provide some details as to what the output looks like and what the project types are?

[linwood-rancho]

I am sorry I am not sure what you are asking for?

One project is a console app that uses the other project in the solution. The second project is a class library that makes some http client calls. The console app portion did get upgraded. The class library did not get updated. Here is what I see on the cmd window. As you can see after I picked the entry point for the solution, it just wants to Finalize the upgrade.

When I look at the project properties it is still using NET 5.

cheers

@linwood-rancho I'm facing the exact same issue you reported. Did you manage to make it work?

I had the same issue. Turns out, that upgrades from .NET Core are currently not supported.

I had inherited this project from a consultant and had not really dug into it. As my initial comment indicated the .exe was converted just fine. It turned out the second project in the solution was nothing more than a collection of DTO classes to work with some JSON responses. There was no logic in any of the classes. So I tried to just flip the framework from .NET 5 to .NET 6 and compiled it. And that worked. I was able to run the program with test data, and all was good.

I did exactly the same. Manually changed the class library from .net5.0 to .net6.0, and it was fine. I was curious to know why it didn't upgrade that project although the other main project got converted.

As @matdv highlighted above, it appears this tool is more towards upgrading .NET Framework projects. Hence, it isn't fully supporting previous version of .NET Core to .NET 6.

Thanks for your reply and details.

That explain the first part. Thanks for sharing that link. I missed the part that it supports only .NET Framework.

But, I'm still curious as to how the main Web API project got upgraded properly from .NET 5 to .NET 6 including the packages, but the referenced .NET 5 class library is getting skipped.
