+## 🚀 .NET 6 Migration Progress
+
+**Current Status**: Foundation Phase Complete ✅
+
+This repository is currently undergoing migration from .NET Framework 4.5.1 to .NET 6. The migration is being done incrementally to maintain stability and allow for thorough testing at each phase.
+
+### ✅ Completed (Phase 1 - Foundation)
+- **New .NET 6 Project**: Created `SampleWebApp.Core` project with modern SDK-style format
+- **Project Structure**: Established standard .NET 6 folder structure (Controllers/, Views/, Models/, wwwroot/)
+- **Configuration**: Migrated from Web.config to appsettings.json with environment-specific configurations
+- **Hosting Model**: Implemented minimal hosting pattern with modern ASP.NET Core middleware pipeline
+- **Build Verification**: Project builds successfully and runs locally
+- **Environment Support**: Development, Staging, and Production environment configurations
+
+### 🔄 In Progress / Next Steps
+- Migrate existing controllers and views from `SampleWebApp` to `SampleWebApp.Core`
+- Update Entity Framework 6 to Entity Framework Core
+- Migrate dependency injection from AutoFac to built-in .NET 6 DI container
+- Port GenericServices framework to work with .NET 6
+- Update authentication and authorization mechanisms
+- Migrate static assets and client-side resources
+
