Modernizing the enterprise desktop application
summary
Shows a concrete migration path: run dotnet portability analyzer and the try-convert tool, fix a few API gaps with the Windows Compatibility Pack, and rebuild WPF/WinForms apps to .NET Core 3.0. Demonstrates CI/CD using Azure Pipelines (or GitHub Actions), automatic versioning with NerdBank.GitVersioning, and packaging as MSIX for delta updates and clean uninstalls. Adds telemetry (example: NuGet Package Explorer sees ~40,000 opens and ~27,000 Store users) and embeds modern controls via XAML Islands / WinUI 3 (calendar demo works).
