.NET 10 LTS C# 14 in production · C# 15 in preview

C# development that powers serious business software

We build secure, fast applications in C# on .NET 10: ASP.NET Core APIs, Blazor web apps, .NET MAUI mobile apps and Azure cloud services, plus careful upgrades of older .NET systems.

Support timeline

Is your .NET version still supported?

.NET 8 and .NET 9 both reach end of support in November 2026 — next month. After that they get no security patches. .NET 10 is supported until November 2028.

.NET Framework migration

Moving old .NET apps to .NET 10

Many business systems still run on .NET Framework 4.x. We move them to modern, cross-platform .NET step by step, without a risky big-bang rewrite.

  1. 1

    Assess

    Inventory projects, NuGet packages and Windows-only APIs; flag blockers.

  2. 2

    Prepare

    Add tests around key flows and move to SDK-style project files.

  3. 3

    Upgrade

    Move libraries first, then apps, to .NET 10 with the .NET Upgrade Assistant and manual fixes.

  4. 4

    Modernise

    Containerise, add health checks and CI/CD, then deploy to Azure or AWS.

  5. 5

    Run

    Monitor, patch monthly and plan the next LTS upgrade.

FAQ

C# development questions

Straight answers to what clients ask us most.

Why choose C# and .NET for a business application?

C# is fast, strongly typed and backed by Microsoft with a predictable yearly release cycle. One language covers web APIs, web UI (Blazor), desktop, mobile (MAUI), cloud and games (Unity), and it integrates naturally with Azure, SQL Server, Microsoft 365 and Dynamics.

Which .NET version should we use today?

.NET 10 is the current long-term support (LTS) release, supported until November 2028. We start new projects on .NET 10. .NET 11 is expected in November 2026 as a standard-term release.

Our app runs on .NET 8 or 9 — do we need to upgrade?

Yes, soon. Both .NET 8 and .NET 9 reach end of support in November 2026, after which they stop getting security patches. Upgrading to .NET 10 is usually straightforward, and we can plan it with minimal downtime.

What is new in C# 15?

C# 15, in preview with .NET 11, adds union types, closed class hierarchies, arguments in collection expressions, labeled break and continue, extension indexers and the first steps of a memory-safety update for unsafe code.

Can you migrate our old .NET Framework application?

Yes. We assess dependencies, add tests, then move libraries and apps to modern .NET in stages. Windows-only parts such as WebForms or WCF are rewritten or replaced with ASP.NET Core and gRPC or REST.

Blazor or React for the front end?

Blazor lets a C# team build the whole app in one language, which is great for internal tools and line-of-business apps. React has a larger UI ecosystem and suits public-facing products. We build with both.

Does C# run on Linux and in containers?

Yes. Modern .NET is cross-platform and open source, runs on Linux, macOS and Windows, and works well in Docker and Kubernetes. Native AOT can produce small, fast-starting executables.

How much does a C# project cost?

It depends on scope and integrations. We give a fixed price per milestone after discovery, or provide dedicated C# developers monthly.
