In-place migration of an old ASP.NET Web Forms app to .NET 7

This repo contains a sample ASP.NET Web Forms application and demonstrates the process of migration to .NET 7 using an open-source framework DotVVM.

See the video series covering the entire migration process

The migration is done in-place and most of the business logic will remain unchanged. This approach should be faster than using the side-by-side approach with two applications and YARP.

Side-by-side migration vs In-place migration

The migration also shows how to:

  • Migrate Entity Framework 6 to Entity Framework Core
  • Migrate ASP.NET Membership (ASP.NET Universal Providers) to ASP.NET Core Identity

The original Web Forms application is called VtipBaze (database of jokes) and was made by Michal Altair Valášek.
