I'm currently developing an application with .Net 5 and aiming to migrate to .Net 6 when it's released.
I'm considering using a library that's implemented with the old .Net Framework 4.5. So I'm wondering how about the compability when I've migrated to .Net 6 and if there are other risks in using such a library in general.
Unfortunately, I didn't find much about the that. If you have good references, please share them.

Since your project is on .NET Framework 4.5, it'll be targeting

Are there other risks?

It would be best to use a more updated library, which does the same functionality as the older library.

Of course, such a library may not exist hence why MSFT tries hard to maintain compatibility.

Other than the library not being able to take advantage of the latest .NET security & performance improvements that have been introduced with newer versions of .NET, you'll be fine.
