Ok, my previous post was a great example of how not to describe what I am looking for, mea culpa.

To give a more concrete example: Fast Colored Textbox is available here on CodeProject, as well as Github. It was posted in 2014, and has a target framework of .NET Framework 3.5. With VS 2022 17.8.2 (as of yesterday), the default target framework is .NET 8.0.

To clarify: evidently, even though I am sure that Microsoft works very hard to keep backward compatibility, the process of upgrading the program to .NET 8.0 is not trouble free. When you open the original files and start building, VS 2022 starts with a "One-way upgrade" conversion, and it says it successfully migrated. When you build the project, you get a dozen errors about "invalid RESX file".

Now I have not dug into the errors per se, but the naïve question is what is the root cause of these errors? Is it:

a) Just a matter of ensuring all supporting files are in a location that the compiler can work with, or
b) You can't count on the "one way upgrade" to do everything for you, or
c) There is code from 2008 - 2014 .NET 3.5 that is not compatible with .NET 8.0, or
d) all of the above, or something else

Of the three, it is item C that I am mainly concerned with.

Hope this makes more sense than the original post. Thanks to all for input received to date.
BTW: I mentioned that I work mainly in VB.NET as a nice way of saying I do not do programming for a living.
Pound to fit, paint to match
