Is there any Free Analysis Tool which can be used to find in Custom Solution:

possible code incompatibilities (i.e. deprecated and not supported features/solution types)

Hi @Bart ,
You need to upgrade the solution version using visual studio 2019.

1.Install Visual Studio 2019 and Office Developer Tools for Visual Studio 2019.
2.Open your solutions using VS, The VS would upgrade your solutions automatically.
Otherwise, you have to remove all SharePoint.dll references and re-add them again.
3.Finally, build and deploy your solutions.

Hi RaytheonXie-MSFT,

Thank you for your response.

I am asking more about finding incompatibilities/not supported features or solution types in the project.

Additionally, in respect to VS 2019, I have opened SharePoint 2013 solution and VS did not upgraded it automatically. Did I forgot about something?

Best regards,
Bartosz

Hi @Bart ,
When you move from SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019. most of the Customization will work as-is with minor tweaks in the Classic UI.
However if you are looking at a complete modern UI , they may not work. Classic pages will remain classic. they will never automatically convert to modern. if you want them in modern.you have to redevelop with the capabilities that you have in modern.

Hi @RaytheonXie_MSFT ,

Thank you. Should I do any change in the code/solution? I mean, for instance upgrade SharePoint root folder from "15" or upgrade SharePoint dlls/libraries? If so, how it should be done?

When I have opened the solution in VS 2019, I did not notice any auto-upgrade.

Best regards,
Bartosz
