Quick Conversion Script

You can use this PowerShell script to convert all projects to .NET 8.0:

# Navigate to solution root
cd PowderCoatingApp

# Replace net10.0 with net8.0 in all .csproj files
Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Filter *.csproj | ForEach-Object {
    (Get-Content $_.FullName) -replace 'net10.0', 'net8.0' | Set-Content $_.FullName

# Restore packages
dotnet restore

Or use this bash script (Linux/Mac):

# Navigate to solution root
cd PowderCoatingApp

# Replace net10.0 with net8.0 in all .csproj files
find . -name "*.csproj" -type f -exec sed -i 's/net10.0/net8.0/g' {} +
