Modernize .NET Apps

on YouTube ↗14m

" summary

Demo shows a .NET Framework 4.8 MVC app upgraded to .NET 10 using the GitHub Copilot modernization extension, VS Code agent picker and the Modernize CLI; the agent runs an assessment artifact, generates a markdown plan, then executes four tasks — project checkout, SDK-style conversion, package/API remediation and final validation — committing after each task. Approvals can be bypassed, custom skills are supported, and the automated run completes successfully with business functionality intact.
