I don't think that you can port it.
Are you using XBAP?
no

Ok I don't understand 🙃 .
Silverlight?

That's not WPF.
ok, perffect 🥲
ASP.NET.
Sure.

No

.aspx is dead
It's not supported in CoreI don't think so.
And good riddance
Far as advantages go, there's plenty
Yeah no.
Being able to host it on a Linux server
Speed improvements
Or actually, you can port it.
All sorts of DX improvements

Do you think it's playable for a beginner?
thank you
It's hard for not-games to be playable
If you mean "doable" then... hard to tell
It's going to be hard.
Migrating an ancient project to modern standards is not easy
Doable sure, but you'll need to put in a lot of effort.
bad translation sry
okthank you for your answers, I'll pass them on to my boss.
To sum it up: the migration is worth it, but very time and effort-consuming
So you need to see if the benefits are worth the effort
I'll make an analysis of all this, thank you.
