Syncfusion Visual Studio Extensions Are Compatible with .NET 6.0

The next-generation platform .NET 6, which unites the .NET Framework and .NET Core, is now available. This new version brings performance improvements and new capabilities to web, desktop, and mobile platform development.

We at Syncfusion also support .NET 6.0 from our 2021 Volume 4 release. Now, users can keep up with the latest innovations in creating web and desktop apps. Syncfusion Visual Studio extensions can now create .NET 6.0 apps, convert and migrate projects to .NET 6.0, and add the necessary references for .NET 6.0 projects as part of this support.
