  Hi,

  I have a new virtual development PC where I will be upgrading my web application from VS2015 to VS2019. At the same time I want to update my component one software. Would it be best to install the latest version of the component one tools first and then load my web app in VS 2019? If so what will I need to do so that my web app is using the new version of the Component One tools and will I need to alter anything when doing a fresh deploy to the host server?

  Many Thanks,

  Roger

  Hi Roger,
  
  To upgrade to the latest ComponentOne without any issue, please follow the given below steps:

  • "

  • “Open your WebApp in previous machine to make WebApp non-specific version”

  • “Open licenses.licx file”

  • “Remove version information , Version=x.x.xxxxx.xxx, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxx”

  • “Repeat the same with web.config file”

  • “Select to the C1.Web.Wijmo.Controls.4 dll”

  • “Check dll location and Specific version”

  • “If specific version is true, set it to false and save the solution”

  • “Copy Path for the DLL “C:\Program Files (x86)\ComponentOne\ASP.NET Web Forms Edition\bin\v4.5.2\C1.Web.Wijmo.Controls.45.dll””

  • “Delete the bin and obj folder”

  • “Install the newer version on new development machine @C:\Program Files (x86)\ComponentOne location”

  • “Copy the webapp to new machine”

  • " Open the webapp in Visual Studio"

  • “Rebuild the application”

  "

  The application should be executed without any issue.

  Hope it helps! Please let us know if you have any further queries.

  Hi Manish,

  Thank you for your assistance.

  When I remove the version number for the following line in my web.config I get an error.
  
  

  Thanks,

  Hi Manish,

  I am a bit confused about this line ‘Select to the C1.Web.Wijmo.Controls.4 dll’. Is this the one in the Bin folder of my project? Also I don’t see ‘If specific version is true, set it to false and save the solution’.

  Thanks,

  Hi Manish,

  Sorry for all the emails but when I try and build my web app I get this error: -

  licenses.licx: Could not transform licenses file into a binary resource. Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list.

  Hi Roger,
  
  The web.config file should be updated as follow:

  <add assembly="C1.Web.Wijmo.Controls.Design.4" />
  

  Select to the C1.Web.Wijmo.Controls.4 dll
  
  It was from the reference in Asp WebForm project but you have Asp WebSite project.
  
  So you just need to delete the C1 older entry and add a reference to the new one.
