Description

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/visual-studio-multi-targeting-overview?view=vs-2022

When moving from .NET framework to modern versions of .NET, the property for targeting the chosen framework in .csproj file has changed.

For example when updating a legacy .NET v4.8 application to .NET 9, what used to be

<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.8</TargetFrameworkVersion>

would become <TargetFramework>net9.0</TargetFramework>

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify the current ruleset for .NET projects in the repository and understand how rules are defined. Then implement a rule that matches the old TargetFrameworkVersion property and suggests replacing it with TargetFramework.
