Porting Assistant for .NET
Porting Assistant for .NET is an analysis tool that scans .NET Framework applications and generates a .NET Core compatibility assessment, helping you port your applications to Linux faster. Porting .NET Framework applications to .NET Core helps customers take advantage of the performance, cost savings, and robust ecosystem of Linux. However, porting applications to .NET Core can be a significant manual effort. Application owners need to spend valuable time identifying the dependencies and APIs that are incompatible with .NET Core, and estimating the level of effort involved. Porting Assistant for .NET quickly scans .NET Framework applications to identify incompatibilities with .NET Core, finds known replacements, and generates a detailed compatibility assessment. This reduces the manual effort involved in modernizing your applications to Linux.
Porting Assistant for .NET is an open source tool and you can find the source code at the Porting Assistant for .NET GitHub Repo.
