dotnet 4.5 to 4.8 upgrade

Question

Hi,
I have planned to upgrade my application from .net 4.5 to .net 4.8. In this link ([1]: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide/runtime/4.5-4.8) says somethings get affected. I couldn't able to get what they are saying. I'll explain my scenario My application runs on the windows server 2016 and the targeted framework is 4.5. Now I need to upgrade it and I have already done in local machine through the visual studio by changing the targeted framework in Project ->Application->Targeted Framework, then I run my application in the local machine it runs smoothly without any issue. But my local machine is different from the server. So My Question is are they saying by the time of deploying the changes it cause the problem in the server or the application won't run ?

Hi @Gokul Prasadh ,
The changes listed in the documentation are the parts that may affect the APIs you use after a framework upgrade.
If you've tested that your program works fine on a local machine with .net framework 4.8 installed after upgrading the target framework, then it should also run fine on a server with .net framework 4.8 installed.
Best Regards.
