Visual Studio 2019 vs 2022

Question

I build web applications and currently still use web forms on some legacy projects, along with MVC on more recent years projects. Most projects use .Net 4 - 4.7, C#

We haven't yet moved to Core but if I was to use Visual Studio 2022 as my primary development environment, would there be any compatibility issues with the type of projects/.Net Framework version listed above? Or any scenario I need to be made aware of so I can test it out?

Ideally I would like to use VS 2022 as long as it supports older Frameworks etc but still give the option to use VS 2019 for team members still using VS 2019 after I've worked on a project using VS 2022.

Thanks

Hi @Mr Edge ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

You can refer to this documents: Migrate from ASP .NET to ASP .NET Core and Migrate from ASP .NET MVC to ASP .NET Core MVC. For migrating from VS 2019 to VS 2022 you can refer to this document: Project migration and upgrade reference for Visual Studio.

Normally, if you follow the documents to migrate projects, you will(should) not meet errors or compatibility issues. In case you meet compatibility issues, don’t worry, report the issues on Developer Community and VS product team will help to fix the potential issue.(Help > Send Feedback > Report a Problem…)
