Hi guys, I followed up the steps to upgrade my project Silverlight Devforce 2010 6.1.12. I rebuild my Model but unfotunately it still uses 6.1.7 version which was the last version i had it. 1-Is it possible to jump from 6.1.7 to 6.1.12 ? 2-In documents says "1. Regenerate your business model entities (this will not change your custom business logic). " does it mean to rebuild it? Thanks, Peter

Peter,
What exactly do you mean by "still uses 6.1.7 version"? Are the designer classes not being regenerated? You can check and confirm by taking a look in your .IB.Designer.cs file: // -------------------------------------------------------------------- // DO NOT MODIFY THIS CLASS - AutoGenerated Code // Any changes made to this code will be lost the next time this // code is regenerated. // // Generated at: 3/19/2013 17:00:34 // DevForce version: 6.1.12.0 // Template version: 2.1.4 // -------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, be sure to go over the release notes at http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/release-notes - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/release-notes to find and address all breaking changes from v6.1.7 to v6.1.12. |

Hi sbelini, I solved that problem by deleting all refrences and add new one. Should i do it for any single project in my solution? Is there any upgrade utility so it does for the projects? thx

You shouldn't have to remove and re-add references.
Be sure that Specific Version is set to false in the reference properties. |

Do i need to install all versions before 6.1.12 (Mine is 6.1.7)? Does 6.1.12 covers all the previous ones? thx

You don't need to install all versions.
You should be able to install v6.1.12 on top of v6.1.7 without issues. Note that you MUST ensure that Specific Version in the assembly reference property is set to FALSE. This applies to all DevForce assemblies. If you have the above properly addressed, you shouldn't have any errors related to references. (i.e. the "!" in front of the references) Passed the issue above, you still have to address all the breaking changes that were introduced from 6.1.8 until 6.1.12. You will find these breaking changes in the Release Notes at http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/release-notes - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/release-notes |

Peter,
In the "References" folder, right-click in the assembly reference and select "Properties". You can also select multiple assemblies and right-click/select "Properties".

the steps for upgrading the project was as below: 1- I installed 6.1.12. 2-I opened the projects(In solution 5 projects which every single project has his own refences some coming from C:/ProgramFilesX86\DevForce2010\DesktopAssemblies....) 3- I realized some projects refrences have been updated to 6.1.12 and some have not("!").For thos one i changed the Specific verion=true.and rebuild the solution. 4- I also re-generated the Model by refreshing one of the view and save and rebuild the Model. Still i get tons of errors:( Am i missing something? thx

Peter,
Regarding your first question - Yes, you will be able to use the new features even if you have Specific Version set to False. In fact, I suggest you have Specific Version set to False ALWAYS. Regarding your second question - You are most likely missing many things. Have you been over the breaking changes in the Release Notes? Unless you address all of them you will have errors. After you address all the breaking changes, if you still have errors, provide the error messages so we can evaluate what the issue is. Remember, you must clear all the breaking changes first. |

Peter,
Every version of DevForce, might or might not have changes that would need modifications in your code in order to compile - that's why it's called a breaking change. This is a fairly common term in software development. ( http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/breaking_change - http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/breaking_change ) If you click in the Release Notes link and look at the left side of the screen, you will see the version numbers. Start at the version next to the one you are using - i.e. you are using v6.1.7, so start at v6.1.8. Click on the version 6.1.8 Release Notes link, check if there are breaking changes. If there are any, the release notes will explain them and indicate how to address them. Once you do that, move to the next version (i.e. 6.1.9) and repeat the process. Do this for every version until you get to the most recent version. I hope this is clear enough for you. Kind regards, sbelini. |

Peter,
The NuGet UI will only show the latest version of DevForce. (and most of other NuGet packages, for that matter) If you want to install previous versions you will have to do so via the Package Manager console using the -Version parameter. Regarding you previous post, if you have DevForce 6.1.12 installed, you should actually install the 6.1.12 NuGet package. |
