I'm not sure this question has been already asked but..
I have a pretty large Vb.net project that uses the combo box, listbox and TabStrip controls pretty heavily. The project is already just about halfway thru but these controls have been changed in the Q2 2010. So my question is, will the Upgrade wizard change the controls, replacing the old with the new, or, will I be forced to have to go into each of the forms replacing one with the other as shown in the videos.? Trying to get a handle on how much my Schedule may be adjusted with this change.
Thanks

Hello Carol Watson,
Thank you for the question.
The Upgrade Wizard will just update the project references to the Telerik assemblies and it will not do any modifications to your code. Currently, the only way to switch to the new controls is the one demonstrated in the videos. However, we plan to introduce tools which allow you to easily convert the old controls (RadPanelBar, RadTabStrip, RadComboBox, RadListBox) to the new ones - RadPageView, RadListControl and RadDropDownList. These tools will be available in Q2 2010 SP1 due in the middle of the next week.
I hope this information asnwers your question.
Kind regards,
Nikolay

Thank you for your response... I will wait for that release before attempting to do the switch...
