Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

The projects within this repository are still using the "old" csproj format. While this doesn't cause a problem, it doesn make certain things (like merging changes into them) harder. While the "new" csproj format is mainly for usage with new .NET projects, there is no reason that net48 projects like within this repository, can't use it.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

It makes maintenance of the projects in the long term easier.
It makes the csproj file "simpler" and easier to understand.
It opens up the potential to make use of Renovate for dependency management. Renovate does not support monitoring and updating packages.config files.

Additional Context

This will need to be done across all of the core Products, to ensure that everything works together at the same time.
