"The environmental industry has operated for decades with a critical bottleneck: field teams collect samples, then wait days for laboratory data before making major remediation or compliance decisions. The Labrador HH-GC changes that workflow by placing actionable analytical intelligence directly into the hands of field operators." — , Chairman and CEO of Astrotech Corporation (EN-SCAN's parent company)
The new portability analyzer represents an evolution of Microsoft’s classic .NET Portability Analyzer (ApiPort). While the original tool served as an excellent baseline for identifying unsupported APIs, modern software development demands deeper integration, real-time feedback, and automated code fixes. portability analyzer new

The new generation of analysis capabilities operates entirely client-side. Legacy versions required active connections to external servers to resolve API compatibility. The latest toolsets download comprehensive localized API catalogs directly onto your device, allowing secure infrastructure audits within closed enterprise environments. 🛠️ Key Capabilities of Modern Portability Assessment Legacy Portability Analyzer ( ApiPort ) New .NET Upgrade Assistant / Modern Analyzers Binary-only (IL assembly scanning) Source code, project structures, and binaries Cloud Dependency Required backend API web services 100% Offline via local catalog definitions Visual Studio Support Limited to VS 2017 & VS 2019 extensions Full integration into VS 2022 & CLI environments Remediation Action Generates static reports (Excel/HTML) Executes automated code & dependency refactoring 📈 Deep Dive: Running a Portability Assessment
Whether you are moving from ASP.NET MVC to ASP.NET Core, or migration a WPF/WinForms app to .NET 8, the new engine handles the heavy lifting. While the original tool served as an excellent
The new ecosystem transitions away from standalone, static reports. Instead, it relies on a combination of the and Roslyn-based code analyzers integrated directly into IDEs like Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio Code. This shifting architecture allows developers to analyze code portability concurrently with active development.
