Developer 02 74a625a863 Enhance framework compatibility and code readability
Added preprocessor directives for .NET framework compatibility.
Modified `using` directives to be framework-specific.
Improved code formatting for better readability.
Introduced obsolete attributes for deprecated methods,
recommending `MediatR` as an alternative.
