Hi Telerik Team,
Problem:
We have purchased license your latest asp.net Ajax version for 4.5.We are in process of migrating our apps from our old classic Rad
controls for 2.0 to latest version of UI ASP.Net AJAX 4.5. On deep diving into your latest framework and architectural changes, found there are far too many
breaking changes and requires painful effort to migrate. It isn’t straightforward as mentioned in some your forums. The upgrade wizard doesn’t help. The some of the control classes, properties,methods names have drastically changed from the old version to the new one.Moreover, not all changes have been documented. The upgrade process is risky and time consuming. But we need to go for the upgrade as we migrating our project to dotnet 4.5 framework.
Expectation from support team:
We need continuous technical support during the upgrade process in next 1 month. We have two projects to be converted. Will be posting
snippets of code to give us direction on upgrade if appropriate documentation not found in telerik site for controls/classes we are using.
Current status:
On referencing Radcontrols dlls to new “telerik.web.ui” and changing the namespaces from “telerik.webcontrols” to “telerik.web.ui” we got 74 errors
during build. After fixing some of the issues referring to doc on backward compatibility, the Errors are now reduced to 46.
To start with, posting few code snippets where we get errors:
Error 1: “Member not found” for each property within the “with” stmnt
RadRotator = New RadRotator
With _RadRotator
.ID = "R"
.FrameTemplate = Me.CreateFrameTemplate()
.FrameTimeout = 3000
.Height =System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Pixel(Me.FrameHeight)
.PauseOnMouseOver = True
.TransitionType = RadRotator.RotatorTransitionType.Slideshow
.TransitionEffect =RadRotator.RotatorTransitionEffect.Fade
.UseRandomSlide = False
.UseSmoothScroll = True
Error 2: “RadToolbarToggleButton” is not defined. “b.buttonimage” is not defined
Code:
Dim b As RadToolbarButton
If ButtonGroup Is Nothing Then
b = New RadToolBarButton
Else
b = New RadToolbarToggleButton
With CType(b, RadToolbarToggleButton)
.ButtonGroup = ButtonGroup
.Toggled = Toggled
End With
End If
b.CommandName = CommandName
b.ButtonImage = ButtonImage
b.ToolTip = ToolTip
We have to deliver the upgrade version to customer in one month time. A prompt help will be greatly appreciated from telerik team.
Thank you,
Kiesha.
