EPIC: We understand the need of .NET developers in Modernization area and build the right tooling for them

[OliaG]

Summary

We are planning to conduct a Customer Development to help our Modernization effort of .NET application.

Goal

Understand how we can migrate users from the outdated platforms and offerings of .NET to the latest ones.
Here we want to learn what is stopping developers from upgrading to the latest .NET 6/7/8, what king of tooling is needed to make them the most efficient, what types of applications and features should be supported in Upgrade Assistant, what are the ways we can improve existing tooling.

User Stories:

• Modernization Customer Development #1453
• Upgrade Assistant Usability Study #1454

For the DNN Community open source project I mentioned this here:

dnnsoftware/Dnn.Platform#5625

which feedback was as follows:

The tool currently wont support the following:
Migrate Web Forms

And to shine more light on the issue:
the real issue is that System.Web, which is an underpinning requirement for DNN doesn't exist in .NET Core.

Does this help with some community feedback? Should I be creating an issue for this as I am not sure if posting here is desired and not sure if there is already a mention of this from issue searches?
