How to port desktop applications to .NET Core 3.0
In this post, I will describe how to port a desktop application from .NET Framework to .NET Core. I picked a WinForms application as an example. Steps for WPF application are similar and I’ll describe what needs to be done different for WPF as we go. I will also show how you can keep using the WinForms designer in Visual Studio even though it is under development and is not yet available for .NET Core projects.

We’ll come away with some practical principles that are still very applicable to modern development. And you might discover your new favorite programming paradigm!
