The .NET Framework, initially released in 2002, is a Windows-only platform that has been retired from active development and now receives only maintenance updates. Despite this, the open-source .NET Core, introduced in 2016, boasts seamless cross-platform compatibility, effortlessly running on Linux while showcasing a lighter footprint and superior performance. The software consistently receives common updates, featuring novel options and efficiency enhancements annually. When migrating your .NET projects from the .NET Framework to cross-platform .NET, you can successfully transition from Windows to Linux. By leveraging the latest advancements in the .NET platform, you’re not only able to capitalise on their benefits but also reduce your Microsoft licensing expenses.
At our company, we’ve been helping you migrate and modernize your .NET applications from Windows to Linux with tools such as dotnet, Visual Studio Code, and Roslyn.
We are pleased to introduce the early access release of our newest.
Here is the rewritten text:
This article introduces you to a groundbreaking, dotnet-powered capability that enables seamless migration of your .NET Framework applications to cross-platform .NET within your integrated development environment (IDE).
Amazon CodeGuru for .NET autonomously examines the codebase, produces a tailored transformation roadmap, and carries out necessary updates. Duties encompass upgrading and reconfiguring NuGet packages and APIs, refactoring outdated and inefficient code components, and migrating to a cross-platform .NET environment.
Let’s see it in motion!
I’m leveraging Visual Studio for this tutorial since the Amazon Q Developer rework for .NET is available as a Visual Studio extension. I signed up for the latest model using the subscription offered by my organization.
I’m tasked with migrating a .NET Framework-based solution to its latest cross-platform equivalent on the .NET Long-Term Support (LTS) track, currently anchored on .NET 8. The option to rework lies within the menu, accessible as a contextual item for every project and individual resolution, allowing for seamless navigation and execution of reworking tasks. I can seamlessly adapt my approach to match the scope and intricacy of the project, effectively recalibrating all facets of the utility or methodically revamping specific initiatives as needed.
This walkthrough highlights the transformative impact of a single initiative from our extensive portfolio.
Upon selecting the context menu
Upon launching this interface, you are presented with an opportunity to specify additional projects to revise and designate your desired .NET framework version. The prompt does not provide a specific text for improvement. Please provide the text you would like me to revise in a different style as a professional editor. I’ll respond with the improved text, if possible. If it’s not feasible to improve the text without additional context or information, my response will be “SKIP”.
I am monitoring the project’s standing within the scope of the current window, as well as tracking the progress in this window.
While a single venture has been reworked, the potential exists for all connected initiatives to be reworked by Amazon’s Q Developer. The selected venture and its supporting initiatives are combined to form a modular, scalable entity. To enable the transformed codebase to achieve a financially sustainable structure.
After building the Amazon Q developer domestically, they replicate the selected code and dependencies in an isolated and temporary AWS sandbox environment for processing. To securely transmit your code, you should utilize three quotation marks (“`).
The Amazon QuickStarts team develops a tailored change plan for your project, leveraging AI-driven insights to optimize code quality, reliability, and scalability. As the transformation commences, a sequential process unfolds, meticulously executing each step outlined in the plan, systematically tackling every initiative within the comprehensive blueprint. For each venture, it seamlessly updates NuGet packages and APIs, configures startup and runtime settings, refactors deprecated code, and thoroughly debugs any encountered errors.
Upon completion of the transformation process, I choose to view the summary. The transformation’s success stands accomplished. Every venture exhibits inherent risk, uncertainty, and potential for growth. In the Linux porting standing column, one can discern whether a venture has been ported automatically or requires input to address outstanding issues.
I can retrieve the Linux readiness report and review the issues requiring guidance for informed decisions.
The modifications to code are executed within a sandbox environment, allowing me to assess their impact prior to applying the changes to my primary workspace. To manually assess the enhancements yielded by Amazon Q Developer, I choose View, then click on a record from the list in the window.
After reviewing the modifications, I select within the window to apply the changes to my local working repository directly.
Once I’ve completed the repairs to the pending points in my native working repository, I’ll move on to tackle the remaining projects iteratively using the same approach.
- Amazon’s Q developer transformation capabilities for .NET porting are currently available in preview to subscribers of the Professional Tier on Amazon Q Developer.
- Amazon Q Developer’s transformation capabilities for .NET streamline rework processes by seamlessly migrating code written in .NET Framework versions 3.5+, .NET Core 3.1, and .NET 5+ to the current supported cross-platform .NET versions, including .NET 8 and .NET 9.
- Amazon’s Q Developer transformation capabilities for .NET enable seamless porting of C# code initiatives across various project types, including console utilities, class libraries, unit tests, .NET APIs, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services, and enterprise logic layers of Model-View-Controller (MVC) and Single Page Application (SPA). The UI layers corresponding to Razor Views and WebForms have not been ported nonetheless. Additionally, solely initiatives with Microsoft-authored NuGet package dependencies are supported. For .NET Framework purposes, utilizing the Web Information Server (IIS) requires sole reliance on default IIS configurations in order to successfully port applications across platforms.
To successfully start, configure, and follow instructions for porting and improving your .NET applications.
