DotnetLegacyMigrator

Project Goals

DotnetLegacyMigrator helps teams modernize older .NET applications by translating legacy data access patterns into Entity Framework Core code that runs on .NET 9.

Supported Legacy Technologies

• Typed DataSets
• LINQ to SQL
• NHibernate .hbm.xml mappings
• Additional legacy frameworks planned for future support
