Modernize WPF Desktop Applications To Asp.Net Core MVP With Amazon Q Developer
AWS, Friday, February 13th, 2026
A medical imaging customer recently approached our team with a need to modernize their legacy Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Framework desktop applications into ASP.NET Core MVC Web applications.
They wanted to use an agentic approach to speed up their modernization to achieve the up to 4x speed that other customers have realized with Amazon Q Developer. They had organizational approval to use Amazon Q Developer Pro only but did not have organizational authorization to use Kiro (AWS's AI-powered agentic integrated development environment) or any other tool for their modernization.
Moving WPF Framework desktop apps to ASP.NET MVC Core is complex, but Amazon Q Developer automates the process by identifying Windows-specific dependencies and required changes, suggesting updates, and modifying code enabling Linux deployment on AWS while reducing costs and accessing modern .NET benefits.
