Using .Net 8 on ASP.Net Web Application (.Net Framework)

Hi @Bobby Bob,

I want to use .Net 8 on my ASP.Net Web Application (.Net Framework).

This is not possible.

If you want to use .NET 8.

You should create an ASP.NET Core (.NET) project instead of ASP.NET (.NET Framework).

.NET vs. .NET Framework for server apps

If this is a webforms application, then you stuck with 4.8. If this is a MVC project, then upgrading (migration) from .net framework to .net core should be relative easy. So, for a webforms project, it would require a complete re-write as a MVC project, and then once that is working, then your upgrade paths from .net to .net core becomes relative easy. So, how difficult this will be will depend on the type of project you have now.
