I have a project that uses the ASP.NET Ajax controls and I would like to upgrade to the newest version (2021). Is it just a matter of switching the DLLs and skins or are there breaking changes? After upgrading do I need to test every page with a Telerik control on it?

Thanks,

Tim

Hello Tim,

Basically, the easiest way to upgrade your project to the latest version of the controls is to follow the instructions from the following help article:

https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/installation/upgrading-instructions/upgrading-a-trial-to-a-developer-license-or-to-a-newer-version#upgrade-to-a-newer-version-of-telerik-ui-for-aspnet-ajax

In case you are using custom skins, customized dialogs, overrides of functions, etc. - they will most probably need to be updated.

Before starting an upgrade of your project, you may find it useful to review the following resources:
  • The Known Issues and Important Changes sticky thread. It lists changes that may affect your code and known regression issues (that are usually fixed in the subsequent release). Review the information for the releases you go through so you can evaluate whether you will be affected by anything.
  • The Telerik Upgrade API Analyzer can analyze your C# code to notify you of changes between your version and the new version you want to upgrade to. It offers information as of the Q1 2012 (2012.1.225) release.
  • UI for ASP.NET AJAX Release History—reviewing the release notes for all releases you go through will let you see what has changed, what fixes, features and controls have been implemented so you are better prepared to meet your project's challenges.
