How to convert a .net framework (not core) project from obsolete project.json format

172 Views Asked by At

I have an existing set of .net Framework projects (.csproj webapi) that need to be converted to the modern non project.json formats. However I seem to be running into a google black hole and cannot find the definitive instructions on what I need to do to my csproj files to convert them from the old project.json dependent format.

I found number places that talk about a dotnet migrate tool, but that seems to be obsolete now and certainly doesn't seem to be found, when running the dotnet cli.

Could not execute because the specified command or file was not found.
Possible reasons for this include:
  * You misspelled a built-in dotnet command.
  * You intended to execute a .NET Core program, but dotnet-migrate does not exist.
  * You intended to run a global tool, but a dotnet-prefixed executable with this name could not be found on the PATH.

Can anyone point me at steps needed please?
