Upgrade to a New Version

  • 2 minutes to read

The Project Converter allows you to update your .NET projects after you installed a new version of DevExpress components. You can run the Project Converter as a dialog window or as a console application.

The Project Converter replaces references to outdated DevExpress assemblies with references to the most recent libraries. The converter updates the following files:

  • project files (.csproj and .vbproj);

  • resource files (.resx) for forms that were localized in the Visual Studio Form Designer;

  • web application files (Web.config, .aspx, .ascx, .asax, and .master);

  • other files (.cs, .vb, .xaml, .skin, .config, .config.xml, .licx, .svc, .refresh, .uitest, and .lsml).

Important Notes

  • Before you start upgrading a project, refer to the Upgrade Your Application to a New DevExpress Version section and to the Breaking Changes page.

  • The Project Converter does not modify names of classes and API members.

  • The Project Converter does not upgrade NuGet packages. Refer to the following section for information on how to upgrade the packages: Updating Packages.

  • The Project Converter does not substitute assemblies that are placed in a project’s bin folder. To upgrade the bin folder content, select Build → Clean Solution in Visual Studio’s main menu and rebuild the project.

  • Use the Localization Service to download the latest version of localization resources. The service allows you to copy your existing translations to a different DevExpress assembly version.
