Upgrading to SDK-Style Projects

Required Reference: Before proceeding, consult the .NET SDK-style project documentation for authoritative guidance on SDK-style projects.

SDK Selection Guide

Analyze project files to recommend the appropriate SDK:

Project Type	SDK	Indicators
Console/Library	`Microsoft.NET.Sdk`	No web/UI references
ASP.NET Core/Web API	`Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web`	`Microsoft.AspNetCore.*`, Startup.cs, Controllers
Razor Class Library	`Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor`	`.razor` files, Razor components
Blazor WebAssembly	`Microsoft.NET.Sdk.BlazorWebAssembly`	`Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly`
Worker/Background Service	`Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Worker`	`IHostedService`, BackgroundService
WinForms	`Microsoft.NET.Sdk` + `<UseWindowsForms>`	`System.Windows.Forms`
WPF	`Microsoft.NET.Sdk` + `<UseWPF>`	`PresentationFramework`, `.xaml` files
MSTest	`MSTest.Sdk`	`Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting`
.NET Aspire AppHost	`Aspire.AppHost.Sdk`	Aspire orchestration project

Analysis Checklist

Before upgrading, analyze and review:

Upgrade Process

Identify SDK: Analyze references and file patterns to determine SDK

Create minimal project file:

<Project Sdk="SELECTED_SDK">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>net9.0</TargetFramework>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Add OutputType if executable: <OutputType>Exe</OutputType> or <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
Migrate PackageReferences: Convert packages.config or HintPath references
Remove redundant elements: SDK-style auto-includes *.cs, *.resx, etc.

Add desktop properties for WinForms/WPF:

<UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms>
<!-- or -->
<UseWPF>true</UseWPF>

Key Differences from Legacy

No <Compile Include="**/*.cs" /> needed (auto-included)
No assembly info file needed (<GenerateAssemblyInfo>true</GenerateAssemblyInfo> default)
PackageReference replaces packages.config
No ProjectGuid, ProjectTypeGuids required
No explicit SDK imports needed

Validation

After upgrade, run:

dotnet build
dotnet msbuild -preprocess:output.xml  # View expanded project
