Can I convert my .Net 4.8 project to .NET 8

[Jens Chr. Thomsen]

I have a Winforms project made in .Net 4.8 that uses Syncfusion Winforms.
Is there some easy way for me to convert this project to .NET 8 and still uses Syncfusion components?

Hi Jens Chr. Thomsen,

We have analyzed your query, and it appears that your requirement to convert a project from .NET 4.8 to .NET 8.0 is tied to Visual Studio. In response to this, we recommend referring to Microsoft  documentation, kindly refer to that below link:

But I was thinking about Syncfusion components.
I guess they are not the same for .net 4.8 and .NET 8

I use Syncfusion Winforms Components in my project.

Hi Jens Chr. Thomsen,

We understand that you are using Syncfusion WinForms Components in your project and are considering a transition from .NET 4.8 to .NET 8. The Syncfusion components are designed to maintain a consistent API, and the functionality remains largely unchanged across framework versions.

The primary consideration is updating the Syncfusion DLL references in your project to match the targeted .NET version. If you are migrating to .NET 8, you can refer to the .NET 6 DLLs in your project.
