  Hi,
  
  Migrate from 2010v1 to 2025v2 399 in ASP.NET WebForms NET Framework 4.8.1.
  
  Using C1Dialog from C1.Web.Wijmo.Controls.48.dll
  
  Now, this not compiles, about X and Y properties (legacy old C1Window)

          public int X
          {
              get { return PlaceWindow.X; }
              set { PlaceWindow.X = value; }
          }
  
          public int Y
          {
              get { return PlaceWindow.Y; }
              set { PlaceWindow.Y = value; }
          }

  best approach to C1Dialog ? Position (string) vs X and Y (int) ??
  
  thanks a lot

  Hi,

  You are seeing this error because C1Dialog utilizes a single string-based Position property instead of explicit X and Y integers.

  To avoid rewriting the rest of your application’s logic, we recommend keeping your X and Y properties as integers. You can simply update their Get and Set accessors to parse and update the C1Dialog.Position string behind the scenes.

  Here is the updated code:

  // Helper method to safely read the string and return an array of [X, Y]
  private int[] GetDialogPosition()
  {
      string pos = PlaceWindow.Position;
      
      // Handle empty or named positions gracefully (defaulting to 0,0)
      if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(pos) || !pos.Contains("["))
          return new int[] { 0, 0 };
  
      try
      {
          // Strip the brackets and split by comma: "[10, 20]" -> "10", " 20"
          string[] coords = pos.Trim('[', ']').Split(',');
          
          if (coords.Length == 2)
          {
              int.TryParse(coords[0].Trim(), out int x);
              int.TryParse(coords[1].Trim(), out int y);
              return new int[] { x, y };
          }
      }
      catch 
      {
          // Fallback safety
      }
      
      return new int[] { 0, 0 };
  }
  
  public int X
  {
      get { return GetDialogPosition()[0]; }
      set { PlaceWindow.Position = $"[{value},{GetDialogPosition()[1]}]"; }
  }
  
  public int Y
  {
      get { return GetDialogPosition()[1]; }
      set { PlaceWindow.Position = $"[{GetDialogPosition()[0]},{value}]"; }
  }

  Best Regards,
