How to migrate an sfproj (Service Fabric Project) to .netcore project (.csproj)? Can you provide some guidance for the migration path?

Hello Jose Nelson Falavinha Junior,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you would like to migrate an sfproj (Service Fabric Project) to .netcore project (.csproj) and need some guides.

The high level steps as a best advice are:

• Step 1: Migrate Service Projects to SDK-style .csproj
  • You must use Visual Studio or msbuild for building and packaging the application.
  • Repeat for each service project.
  • Update code for .NET Core compatibility (e.g., config files, deprecated APIs).
• Step 2: Recreate the Application Project
  • The .sfproj is Deprecated
  • Create a New Application Project
• Step 3: Update Deployment and Build
• Step 4: Test Everything

Possibly rewrite your code, don't use .net upgrade assistance, it messes up my apps without reverse.

Also, as a Microsoft Employee use your Copilot at every stage to validate the code. So, in a nutshell note the following:

1. You cannot migrate the .sfproj to SDK-style .csproj; only service projects can be migrated.
2. .NET 8 LTSC is not fully supported for Service Fabric.
3. Build and deployment must use Visual Studio or MSBuild, not dotnet build.
4. Update manifests and test thoroughly.

I hope this is helpful! Do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions or clarifications.
