Convert a .NET Framework Project To .NET Core 3

This Visual Studio Extension converts a WPF application built with the .NET Framework to a .NET Core 3 application.

Install the extension from the Visual Studio Marketplace

Usage

Simply right-click your WPF project and select the "Convert Project to .NET Core 3" option.

Details

When you convert your application, the extension will update your CSPROJ file to the new .NET Core SDK style format.

What it keeps:

• Maintains the project version (uses AssemblyVersion)
• Maintains property groups
• Maintains all project references
• Maintains all items where the "Build Action" is Resource (everything else is removed)
• Maintains all NuGet packages (it deletes the packages.config file)
• Comments out all Assembly related attributes in the AssemblyInfo.cs file
