Update latest version of nuget package
Set local nuget source and install new version 6.0.0.15 nuget package
Path = C:\Workspace\TDS 60015\TDS 6.0.0.15\NuGetPackages
Step 2: Update reference package
C:\Workspace\repo2019\packages\HedgehogDevelopment.TDS.6.0.0.15
Error you encounter while upgrading is……………………………………..!

Unload all tds csproj project, edit and update folder name from something.5.0 to given 6.0 folder details
C:\Workspace\repo2019\packages\HedgehogDevelopment.TDS.6.0.0.15
Step 3: Connector Problem
looks like TDS is all over the place. Next stop is at this file path very complicated setup if you ask me that one try to upgrade it.

Solution
If you closely look at this configuration on edit csproj. You will notice there is duplicate import of tds.target. Remove one of it.
<Import Project="..\packages\HedgehogDevelopment.TDS.6.0.0.15\build\HedgehogDevelopment.TDS.targets" Condition="Exists('..\packages\HedgehogDevelopment.TDS.6.0.0.15\build\HedgehogDevelopment.TDS.targets')" />

This journey is getting way more complicated then I would have imagine or expected
Step 4

Solution
I removed _DEV from c:/siteore/abc/website/
To prevent any conflict. So I have to bring that folder back again.
Step 5: My quest to conquer this upgrade is getting more convoluted. It was foreboding when I took this task at hand.
Solution
Make sure you follow below line items very closely
Delete web.config from C:\Sitecore\abc\Website\_dev
Go the C:\Workspace\repo2019\packages\HedgehogDevelopment.TDS.6.0.0.15\build pick this TDSservice.asmx to past it in C:\Sitecore\abc\Website_DEV
Now We would have build and publish our solution but I recommend don’t try that unless we install tds end to end. Now explicitly copy service C:\Workspace\repo2019\packages\HedgehogDevelopment.TDS.6.0.0.15\build\binHedgehogDevelopment.SitecoreProject.Service.dll into C:\Sitecore\abc\Website\binClick on install sitecore connector. This will create web.config file with access guid as given in _Dev. If you open web.config you will notice the same guid is present. That is the magic.
Now Test and you should be through. Voila!
Preface from tds sitecore doc-JFYI
??? Error communicating with TDS Service. Please see the Application Exception Log on the Sitecore Server for more details.
TDS was unable to connect to the Sitecore server. If this error keeps occurring check the following:
Navigate to the Sitecore instance in a web browser and check that the site is available.
Ensure that no firewalls are blocking access to the Sitecore instance.
Navigate to the folder on disk that contains the Sitecore instance and check that the folder _DEV exists.
Check that the _DEV folder contains the files TdsService.asmx and web.config..
Check that the bin folder for the Sitecore instance contains the file HedgehogDevelopment.SitecoreProject.Service.dll.
