A few questions about upgrading Infragistics
posted

Hi, 

I'm doing a research task and I apologize in advance because I'm not very computer savvy so I hope you can understand me. 

I have a program right now that is on .NET 1.1, and I believe that is CLR 1.x.  We are using NetAdvantage 2004 V3 right now, and Visual Studio 03 and would like to go to .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 08.  I've read another thread concerning upgrading from NetAdvantage 2005 to the current NetAdvantage; would I follow the same steps to upgrade to the current NetAdvantage (ie. bring project to VS 2008, then upgrade the references)?  One other question, if I did upgrade to the current NetAdvantage, would anything change about the appearance/behaviour of the controls?

    To upgrade your project I would do the following:

    1) Install VS2008 and the latest version of Infragistics NetAdvantage
    2) Open the existing VS2003 project in VS2008 which will run an upgrade wizard. Once the project is upgraded to a VS2008 project make sure everything builds ok. Then close Visual Studio.
    3) Run the Infragistics Project Upgrade Utility which is in you Start Menu -> Infragistics -> v2008.2 -> NetAdvantage for .NET Tools folder and upgrade the VS2008 project that you just created. This will bring your Infragistics references up to the latest version.
    4) Delete all of the Infragistics dll's from the bin/Debug folder
    5) Open the project and rebuild.

    As far as changes in appearance/behaviour... you will probably notice some changes but for the most part things are backwards compatible. Since 2004v3 there have been many changes. There is support for many new styles and many new features were added. I won't go as far as saying it will work and look exactly the same after upgrade but it should be close.
