# Migrate from ASP.NET Core 3.1 to 6.0

This article explains how to update an existing ASP.NET Core 3.1 project to ASP.NET Core 6.0.

## Prerequisites

# [Visual Studio](#tab/visual-studio)

[!INCLUDE[](~/includes/net-prereqs-vs-6.0.md)]

# [Visual Studio Code](#tab/visual-studio-code)

[!INCLUDE[](~/includes/net-prereqs-vsc-6.0.md)]

# [Visual Studio for Mac](#tab/visual-studio-mac)

[!INCLUDE[](~/includes/net-prereqs-mac-6.0.md)]

## Update .NET SDK version in global.json

If you rely upon a [`global.json`](/dotnet/core/tools/global-json) file to target a specific .NET SDK version, update the `version` property to the .NET 6.0 SDK version that's installed. For example:

```diff
{
"sdk": {
- "version": "3.1.200"
+ "version": "6.0.100"
}
}
```

<a name="tf"></a>

## Update the target framework

Update the project file's [Target Framework Moniker (TFM)](/dotnet/standard/frameworks) to `net6.0`:

```diff
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

<PropertyGroup>
- <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
+ <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>

</Project>
```

## Update package references

In the project file, update each [Microsoft.AspNetCore.*](https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Microsoft.AspNetCore.*), [Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.*](https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.*), [Microsoft.Extensions.*](https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Microsoft.Extensions.*), and [System.Net.Http.Json](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Net.Http.Json) package reference's `Version` attribute to 6.0.0 or later. For example:

```diff
<ItemGroup>
- <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.JsonPatch" Version="3.1.6" />
- <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools" Version="3.1.6">
- <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Abstractions" Version="3.1.6" />
- <PackageReference Include="System.Net.Http.Json" Version="3.2.1" />
+ <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.JsonPatch" Version="6.0.0" />
+ <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools" Version="6.0.0">
+ <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Abstractions" Version="6.0.0" />
+ <PackageReference Include="System.Net.Http.Json" Version="6.0.0" />
</ItemGroup>
```

## Delete `bin` and `obj` folders

You may need to delete the `bin` and `obj` folders. Run `dotnet nuget locals --clear all` to clear the NuGet package cache.

## Minimal hosting model

The ASP.NET Core templates generate code using the new [minimal hosting model](xref:migration/50-to-60#new-hosting-model). The minimal hosting model unifies *Startup.cs* and *Program.cs* into a single *Program.cs* file. `ConfigureServices` and `Configure` are no longer used. Apps migrating from ASP.NET Core 3.1 to 6.0 don't need to use the minimal hosting model, using `Startup` and the [Generic Host](xref:fundamentals/host/generic-host) used by the ASP.NET Core 3.1 templates is fully supported.

To use `Startup` with the new minimal hosting model, see [Use Startup with the new minimal hosting model](xref:migration/50-to-60#smhm).

To migrate to the new minimal hosting model using the following pattern used by the ASP.NET Core 6.0 templates, see [
Code samples migrated to the new minimal hosting model in ASP.NET Core 6.0](xref:migration/50-to-60-samples) and [Migrate from ASP.NET Core 5.0 to 6.0](xref:migration/50-to-60)

## Update Razor class libraries (RCLs)

Migrate Razor class libraries (RCLs) to take advantage of new APIs or features that are introduced as part of ASP.NET Core 3.1.

To update a RCL that targets components:

1. Update the following properties in the project file:

```diff
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor">
<PropertyGroup>
- <TargetFramework>netstandard2.0</TargetFramework>
- <RazorLangVersion>3.0</RazorLangVersion>
+ <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>
```

1. Update other packages to their latest versions. The latest versions can be found at [NuGet.org](https://www.nuget.org).

To update an RCL targeting MVC, update the following properties in the project file:

```diff
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor">

<PropertyGroup>
- <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
+ <TargetFramework>net6.0</TargetFramework>
<AddRazorSupportForMvc>true</AddRazorSupportForMvc>
</PropertyGroup>
```

## Blazor

To adopt all of the [5.0 features](xref:aspnetcore-5.0) and [6.0 features](xref:aspnetcore-6.0#blazor) for Blazor apps, we recommend the following process:

* Create a new 6.0 Blazor project from one of the Blazor project templates. For more information, see <xref:blazor/tooling>.
* Move the app's components and code to the 6.0 app making modifications to adopt the new 5.0 and 6.0 features.

## Update Docker images

For apps using Docker, update your *Dockerfile* `FROM` statements and scripts. Use a base image that includes the ASP.NET Core 6.0 runtime. Consider the following `docker pull` command difference between ASP.NET Core 3.1 and 6.0:

```diff
- docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:3.1
+ docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0
```

As part of the move to ".NET" as the product name, the Docker images moved from the `mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core` repositories to `mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet`. For more information, see [dotnet/dotnet-docker#1939](https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/issues/1939).

## Model binding changes in ASP.NET Core MVC and Razor Pages

### DateTime values are model bound as UTC times

In ASP.NET Core 3.1 and earlier, `DateTime` values were model-bound as local time, where the timezone was determined by the server. `DateTime` values bound from input formatting (JSON) and `DateTimeOffset` values were bound as UTC timezones.

In ASP.NET Core 5.0 and later, model binding consistently binds `DateTime` values with the UTC timezone.

To retain the previous behavior, remove the `DateTimeModelBinderProvider` in `Startup.ConfigureServices`:

```csharp
services.AddControllersWithViews(options =>
options.ModelBinderProviders.RemoveType<DateTimeModelBinderProvider>());
```

### ComplexObjectModelBinderProvider \ ComplexObjectModelBinder replace ComplexTypeModelBinderProvider \ ComplexTypeModelBinder

To add support for model binding [C# 9 record types](/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/csharp-9#record-types), the <xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.ModelBinding.Binders.ComplexTypeModelBinderProvider> is:

* Annotated as obsolete.
* No longer registered by default.

Apps that rely on the presence of the `ComplexTypeModelBinderProvider` in the `ModelBinderProviders` collection need to reference the new binder provider:

```diff
- var complexModelBinderProvider = options.ModelBinderProviders.OfType<ComplexTypeModelBinderProvider>();
+ var complexModelBinderProvider = options.ModelBinderProviders.OfType<ComplexObjectModelBinderProvider>();
```

## UseDatabaseErrorPage obsolete

The ASP.NET Core 3.1 templates that include an option for individual user accounts generate a call to <xref:Microsoft.AspNetCore.Builder.DatabaseErrorPageExtensions.UseDatabaseErrorPage%2A>. `UseDatabaseErrorPage` is now obsolete and should be replaced with a combination of `AddDatabaseDeveloperPageExceptionFilter` and `UseMigrationsEndPoint`, as shown in the following code:

```diff
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(
Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
+ services.AddDatabaseDeveloperPageExceptionFilter();
services.AddDefaultIdentity<IdentityUser>(options => options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = true)
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>();
services.AddRazorPages();
}

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
+ app.UseMigrationsEndPoint();
- app.UseDatabaseErrorPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
app.UseHsts();
}
```

## Review breaking changes
