Migrating Vb.Net web application into .Net 8.0

Question

Hi,

 

I would like to migrate our web application which has been developed in vb.net web application (MVP) using .Net Framework 4.7 into .Net 8.0. But I am not able to do it. I had used .Net Upgrade Assistant. Can we migrate vb.net web application into .Net 8.0? Kindly clarify.

Thanks

Banu

Answer 1

Hi @Banu ,

VB.NET is no longer directly supported in .NET 6 and beyond for web applications.

The most direct path forward is to translate the VB.NET application to C#, which has full support in .NET 8.0. This approach can leverage .NET 8’s modern APIs, enhanced performance, and long-term support.

Best Regards.

Hi @Jiachen Li-MSFT ,

As I had mentioned my application is a web application (MVP) and it is a bit big application. Is there any way/tool/extension (visual studio), which I can use to translate from Vb.net into C#.net? What would be the best solution to translate the entire application?

Thanks in advance.

Banu
