Upgrade .Net framework 2.0 to latest version

Question

My current project is .Net Web Form with .Net framework 2.0 version (Visual Studio 2005).
I want to change .Net framework latest version (with Visual Studio 2019).
Is this possible 2.0 to 4.8 directly.
Or, should I change to another version (like 3.* ) firstly? After that change to 4.8?
If you have experience like that, any advices and documentation please?

Hi @Yee Mon Zaw ,
You can check the documentation of the migration guide.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/migration-guide
I suggest you create a new project with .Net framework 4.8 and try copy-pasting the code.
There are significant differences between .NET versions, and if you migrate, you may encounter many unknown issues.
You can check Application Compatibility in .NET Framework in Migration Guide.
