Migrate all projects to .NET 8

TargetFramework: net8.0 You can place this in your .csproj files, upgrade your nuget packages and use the best practices whatever you need in that. And check the functionality. Tell me more about your problem which you are facing?

Hello, @abdulgafoor21! Thank you for your advice. The short answer to your question is that the migration to .NET 8 has not yet been done due to dependencies between projects.

A more detailed explanation:

• I had several repositories that duplicated the object model (for example, there were identical classes such as User, Employee, Company etc). So I decided to create this repository to be able to reuse components.
• Initially, I planned for this repository to be a separate library. In particular, the repository was based on the WorkflowLib.Shared.Models project (later I also created WorkflowLib.Shared.Models.Business, as well as several others).
• When improving WorkflowLib.Shared.Models/WorkflowLib.Shared.Models.Business, I often faced the problem that I could not see implicit dependencies with other repositories. For example, I could change something in WorkflowLib.Shared.Models.Business and then the project in another repository could not be built. In this regard, it was decided to move other projects into this repository and create a mono-repository (this solution would make it a bit easier to track dependencies between projects).
• I have already moved some of those projects to this repository. But some of them do not build because I once made changes that led to the dependencies breaking (e.g. issue-50, issue-87).
• Therefore, it might be better to postpone the issue of migrating projects to .NET 8 until the moment when the projects could be built. Alternatively, one could also consider migrating some of the projects in iterations (for example, one could start with the examples folder and do the migration on a project-by-project basis; or one could take on the issue-50 or issue-87, and start migrating to .NET 8 from them).
