    Hello,
    To resolve the issue when upgrading from .NET 6 to .NET 8, follow these steps to ensure that the package versions are compatible with .NET 8:

    Check for Package Updates; Many of the popular packages, such as Microsoft.AspNetCore, Swashbuckle, and NLog, often release updates that support new versions of the .NET framework. Check for the latest versions of these packages through NuGet and update them to the newest versions that support .NET 8.

    Pre-release Versions; For example, the package DK.Enterprise.AspNet.Mvc.HealthCheck is at version 0.1.0-rc2, which is a release candidate (RC). RC versions might not be fully compatible with .NET 8. If possible, use stable (non-RC) versions of the package, or contact the package provider to check if an update is planned for .NET 8 support.

    API Changes and Breaking Changes; There may be API changes between .NET 6 and .NET 8. Review the release notes of both .NET 8 and the specific packages to check for any breaking changes or deprecations in methods and classes used by these packages.

    Build and Test Your Project: Try building the project with .NET 8. If there are any incompatibilities, the build process will fail and show error messages that can help identify which packages or APIs are causing the issues. Once identified, update or replace the problematic packages.

    Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NewtonsoftJson: You're using version 6.0.10 of this package. Since Newtonsoft.Json is still widely used in .NET 8, ensure you are using the latest version that fully supports .NET 8. Check the NuGet page to see if there are newer versions available.

    General Approach to Compatibility:
    Ensure all the packages are updated to the latest versions that support .NET 8.
    Avoid using pre-release versions (like RC or beta versions) unless necessary, and prefer stable releases.
    Run the build after upgrading to .NET 8 and address any issues highlighted during the build process.
    Review the .NET 8 API documentation to ensure compatibility with the framework.

    Best Regards,
    Ali Koc
