## Tips for Specific Scenarios
### Large Codebases
- Split into manageable chunks
- Convert one namespace at a time
- Use batch processing tools
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Track progress systematically
### Complex Logic
- Use multiple conversion tools
- Compare tool outputs
- Manual review critical sections
- Maintain business logic
- Document complex conversions
### Legacy Features
- Research modern alternatives
- Plan feature updates
- Document replacements
- Test thoroughly
- Phase out gradually
