+# Migrate from ASP.NET Core 3.1 to 6.0
+
+This article explains how to update an existing ASP.NET Core 3.1 project to ASP.NET Core 6.0.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+# [Visual Studio](#tab/visual-studio)
+
+[!INCLUDE[](~/includes/net-prereqs-vs-6.0.md)]
+
+# [Visual Studio Code](#tab/visual-studio-code)
+
+[!INCLUDE[](~/includes/net-prereqs-vsc-6.0.md)]
+
+# [Visual Studio for Mac](#tab/visual-studio-mac)
+
+[!INCLUDE[](~/includes/net-prereqs-mac-6.0.md)]

+
+## Update .NET SDK version in global.json
+
+If you rely upon a [`global.json`](/dotnet/core/tools/global-json) file to target a specific .NET SDK version, update the `version` property to the .NET 6.0 SDK version that's installed. For example:
+
+```diff
+{
+ "sdk": {
+- "version": "3.1.200"
++ "version": "6.0.100"
+ }
+}
+```
+
+
+
+## Update the target framework
+
+Update the project file's [Target Framework Moniker (TFM)](/dotnet/standard/frameworks) to `net6.0`:
+
+```diff
+
+
+
+- netcoreapp3.1
++ net6.0
+
+
+
+```
+
+## Update package references
+
+In the project file, update each [Microsoft.AspNetCore.*](https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Microsoft.AspNetCore.*), [Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.*](https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.*), [Microsoft.Extensions.*](https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=Microsoft.Extensions.*), and [System.Net.Http.Json](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Net.Http.Json) package reference's `Version` attribute to 6.0.0 or later. For example:
+
+```diff
+
+-
+-
+-
+-
++
++
++
++
+
+```
+
+## Delete `bin` and `obj` folders
+
+You may need to delete the `bin` and `obj` folders. Run `dotnet nuget locals --clear all` to clear the NuGet package cache.
+
+## Minimal hosting model
+
+The ASP.NET Core templates generate code using the new [minimal hosting model](xref:migration/50-to-60#new-hosting-model). The minimal hosting model unifies *Startup.cs* and *Program.cs* into a single *Program.cs* file. `ConfigureServices` and `Configure` are no longer used. Apps migrating from ASP.NET Core 3.1 to 6.0 don't need to use the minimal hosting model, using `Startup` and the [Generic Host](xref:fundamentals/host/generic-host) used by the ASP.NET Core 3.1 templates is fully supported.
+
+To use `Startup` with the new minimal hosting model, see [Use Startup with the new minimal hosting model](xref:migration/50-to-60#smhm).
+
+To migrate to the new minimal hosting model using the following pattern used by the ASP.NET Core 6.0 templates, see [
+Code samples migrated to the new minimal hosting model in ASP.NET Core 6.0](xref:migration/50-to-60-samples) and [Migrate from ASP.NET Core 5.0 to 6.0](xref:migration/50-to-60)
+
+## Update Razor class libraries (RCLs)
+
+Migrate Razor class libraries (RCLs) to take advantage of new APIs or features that are introduced as part of ASP.NET Core 3.1.
+
+To update a RCL that targets components:
+
+1. Update the following properties in the project file:
+
+ ```diff
+
+
+ - netstandard2.0
+ - 3.0
+ + net6.0
+
+ ```
+
+1. Update other packages to their latest versions. The latest versions can be found at [NuGet.org](https://www.nuget.org).
+
+To update an RCL targeting MVC, update the following properties in the project file:
+
+```diff
+
+
+
+- netcoreapp3.1
++ net6.0
+ true
+
+```
+
+## Blazor
+
+To adopt all of the [5.0 features](xref:aspnetcore-5.0) and [6.0 features](xref:aspnetcore-6.0#blazor) for Blazor apps, we recommend the following process:
+
+* Create a new 6.0 Blazor project from one of the Blazor project templates. For more information, see .
+* Move the app's components and code to the 6.0 app making modifications to adopt the new 5.0 and 6.0 features.
+
+## Update Docker images
+
+For apps using Docker, update your *Dockerfile* `FROM` statements and scripts. Use a base image that includes the ASP.NET Core 6.0 runtime. Consider the following `docker pull` command difference between ASP.NET Core 3.1 and 6.0:
+
+```diff
+- docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/aspnet:3.1
++ docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:6.0
+```
+
+As part of the move to ".NET" as the product name, the Docker images moved from the `mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/core` repositories to `mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet`. For more information, see [dotnet/dotnet-docker#1939](https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-docker/issues/1939).
+
+## Model binding changes in ASP.NET Core MVC and Razor Pages
+
+### DateTime values are model bound as UTC times
+
+In ASP.NET Core 3.1 and earlier, `DateTime` values were model-bound as local time, where the timezone was determined by the server. `DateTime` values bound from input formatting (JSON) and `DateTimeOffset` values were bound as UTC timezones.
+
+In ASP.NET Core 5.0 and later, model binding consistently binds `DateTime` values with the UTC timezone.
+
+To retain the previous behavior, remove the `DateTimeModelBinderProvider` in `Startup.ConfigureServices`:
+
+```csharp
+services.AddControllersWithViews(options =>
+ options.ModelBinderProviders.RemoveType());
+```
+
+### ComplexObjectModelBinderProvider \ ComplexObjectModelBinder replace ComplexTypeModelBinderProvider \ ComplexTypeModelBinder
+
+To add support for model binding [C# 9 record types](/dotnet/csharp/whats-new/csharp-9#record-types), the is:
+
+* Annotated as obsolete.
+* No longer registered by default.
+
+Apps that rely on the presence of the `ComplexTypeModelBinderProvider` in the `ModelBinderProviders` collection need to reference the new binder provider:
+
+```diff
+- var complexModelBinderProvider = options.ModelBinderProviders.OfType();
++ var complexModelBinderProvider = options.ModelBinderProviders.OfType();
+```
+
+## UseDatabaseErrorPage obsolete
+
+The ASP.NET Core 3.1 templates that include an option for individual user accounts generate a call to . `UseDatabaseErrorPage` is now obsolete and should be replaced with a combination of `AddDatabaseDeveloperPageExceptionFilter` and `UseMigrationsEndPoint`, as shown in the following code:
+
+```diff
+public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
+{
+ services.AddDbContext(options =>
+ options.UseSqlServer(
+ Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
++ services.AddDatabaseDeveloperPageExceptionFilter();
+ services.AddDefaultIdentity(options => options.SignIn.RequireConfirmedAccount = true)
+ .AddEntityFrameworkStores();
+ services.AddRazorPages();
+}
+
+public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
+{
+ if (env.IsDevelopment())
+ {
+ app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
++ app.UseMigrationsEndPoint();
+- app.UseDatabaseErrorPage();
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ app.UseExceptionHandler("/Error");
+ app.UseHsts();
+ }
+```

+## Review breaking changes
