Update from 2012 to 2015

[Lukas]

Hi,

I want to update my project from the old version of Telerik.DataAccess 2012 to the last version 2015.

The migration to the new version and the switch to nuget was successfull, for the most of my solutions but there are two very old Visual Basic Solutions that don't want to work properly. I nthe Post-Build steps I want to enhance the compiled assemblies by the venhance.exe from the Telerik.DataAccess.Fluent-package with the following command: 

"$(SolutionDir)\packages\Telerik.DataAccess.Fluent.2015.3.926.1\tools\enhancer\VEnhance.exe" -assembly:"$(TargetPath)" -config:"$(ProjectDir)app.config" -debug+ -verbose+ -verboseMode:1  -reference:"$(TargetDir)XXXXX.dll"

After a while I get the message: "venhance.exe has stopped working"

The following Expection+Stacktrace appears:

Hello Lukas,

The issue you are describing is a compatibility issue between Roslyn compiler and Telerik Data Access Enhancing process. We have already implemented a fix and we are planning to release it this month.
Until that moment I suggest that you use Visual Studio 2012 to build your data layer.
I am sorry for the inconvenience, I will make sure to notify you personally when our next release is publicly available for download.

Regards,
Viktor Zhivkov
