Microsoft Announces .NET 10 Modernization Framework with AI Agents

Microsoft has launched '.NET Modernization for Beginners,' a comprehensive free open-source framework and interactive course designed to help engineering teams migrate legacy ASP.NET applications up to modern .NET 10 using specialized GitHub Copilot agents.

Accelerating Legacy Enterprise Code Upgrades

The framework provides automated refactoring pipelines that analyze legacy WebForms, WCF services, and SQL queries, automatically converting them into high-performance ASP.NET Core web APIs and gRPC microservices.

Hands-on Automation for Engineering Teams

Developers can execute migration tasks via VS Code extensions or CLI commands, leveraging Copilot agents to resolve breaking API changes, update NuGet dependencies, and generate unit tests automatically.

Enterprise software architects praised the initiative, noting that automated refactoring dramatically lowers the cost and risk of legacy technical debt in enterprise environments.
