❔ Hi, does anyone have experience with converting a c# desktop application to a web application?
Please help

You're likely looking at more or less a full rewrite
Yes, that’s what I’m looking for
Okay, so.. start writing.
What kind of desktop app is it? Is there a backend involved currently?
It’s a full project front end and back end, front end with wpf and dev express and back end in c# entity framework
Mvvm
Ok, you can probably keep the backend intact (assuming it uses http/s), and I would probably recommend using js/ts for the frontend. You could use blazor, but be aware that its situational and comes with some caveats.
So I should only make changes on front end?
Maybe?
Again, assuming your backend already uses https then it should more or less work as is, unless you were doing some funny business
Tbh, I just started working at a company, and I haven’t worked on that project. Now my task is to convert that entire project to web
Gonna be a big project. I hope you are frontend/fullstack and know javascript/typescript and perhaps a framework for it.
I haven’t worked with JavaScript but I know a bit
Interesting that you want to move away from native to slow as dirt webapps
It'll be a big task unless you use a modern framework like MAUI which already has support for web.
