Upgrade to a New Version

  • 2 minutes to read

After you install a newer version of DevExtreme, you need to upgrade the DevExtreme resources in your project. You can do this in two ways: using a menu command in Visual Studio or manually.

#Use the Upgrade DevExtreme Resources Menu Command

Follow the instructions below to upgrade the resources:

  1. Launch Visual Studio and open the project with DevExtreme resources that should be upgraded.

  2. Right-click this project in the Solution Explorer window and select Upgrade DevExtreme Resources in the menu.

  3. Click OK in the invoked dialog.

  4. Wait a few seconds while DevExtreme resources are upgraded. This process is displayed in the Output window.

#Manually

Follow the instructions below to upgrade the resources.

  1. Update server-side packages:

    • DevExtreme.AspNet.Data
    • DevExtreme.AspNet.Core

    You can do this in two ways:

    • Use the NuGet dialog. Refer to Configure a non Visual Studio Project (Steps 2 and 3) for more information.

    • Edit package versions in the .csproj file:

      xml
      <ItemGroup>
          ...
          <PackageReference Include="DevExtreme.AspNet.Data" Version="..." />
          <PackageReference Include="DevExtreme.AspNet.Core" Version="..." />
      </ItemGroup>
      
  2. Update client-side resources: DevExtreme scripts (dx.*.js) and CSS files (dx.*.css).

    You can do this in different ways:

    • Use LibMan.
    • Use npm or Yarn.
    • Use CDN Services.
    • Replace older files with the latest version. You can find the new files in the Program Files/DevExpress 24.2/DevExtreme/Sources/Lib directory.

    The scripts and CSS files are typically linked in the _Layout.cshtml file. If you use a static asset bundler, register the static resources in the bundler’s configuration files. Refer to the Bundle and minify static assets in ASP.NET Core article for more information.
