WinForms Converter should work with .NET Core projects
1. Create Windows Forms App
2. Select Target Framework .NET Core 3.1, 5.0 or 6.0
3. Convert to Telerik Controls via the WinForms Extensions menu

You will see that you cannot select version .NET Core 3.1, 5.0 or 6.0 from the drop-down.

If you attempt to convert the project by selecting version 2.0 or 4.0 the Visual Studio will crash.

Hi Josh,

I wanted to follow up with some great news. We've recently released a powerful new WinForms Converter that leverages AI to help automate migration from standard Microsoft WinForms controls to Telerik UI for WinForms.
The converter analyzes your project, converts supported controls and designer files, adds the required Telerik packages, and helps streamline the migration process.

You can learn more about it here: Telerik UI for WinForms Converter

For a list of currently supported Microsoft WinForms controls and their Telerik equivalents, please see the control mapping table: Supported Control Type Mappings

Please note that full access to the WinForms Converter requires an active Telerik UI for WinForms Subscription License. If you do not currently have a subscription license, you can still evaluate the converter using a trial license.

If you decide to give it a try, we'd love to hear your feedback.

Regards,
