Migrating from Creator Kit to modern controls

[denise-msft]

Please review the provided migration document designed to assist users in transitioning from Creator Kit controls to modern controls. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to ensure a smooth and efficient migration process.

The migration document emphasizes the importance of considering native studio controls over the community offering. Native studio controls are officially supported by Microsoft, ensuring better integration, reliability, and access to professional support. Utilizing these controls enhances the overall stability and performance of your applications, providing a more seamless experience for both developers and end-users.

Deprecation of modern controls predecessors in Creator kit

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve and streamline our offerings, we will be deprecating certain Creator Kit components that have modern control equivalents. These modern controls are successors to the older Creator Kit components and provide enhanced functionality and support.

The deprecation process will be carefully managed to ensure minimal disruption. We will declare deprecation timelines for each affected component and provide ample notice to all users. We will only decide to deprecate a control once parity has been validated with the user base and meets certain standards. Updates and announcements regarding deprecation timelines will be posted in this discussion forum, along with guidance and support to help you transition to the modern controls.

Why migrate to modern controls?

By migrating to modern controls, organizations can benefit from the latest features, security advantages, and improvements that are continuously integrated into the native studio environment. This transition not only future-proofs your applications but also aligns with best practices for maintaining a robust and sustainable development pipeline.

We strongly encourage all users to review the migration document and begin planning their transition to modern controls. Embracing these changes will help ensure that your applications remain up-to-date and fully supported within the Microsoft ecosystem.

For detailed instructions on the migration process, please refer to the attached document. If you have any questions or need further assistance, our support team is available to help you through this transition.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to maintaining the highest standards in your application development.
