Hello Xavier,

Sorry for the misunderstanding on my side (from the first screenshot I decided that there is no open project).

You are right that the trigger for Telerik upgrade plugin is based on VS project types, but it is not based on the current references used in the project.
If the Output type of the currently selected project in the Solution explorer is not Windows Application then the project is recognized as not supported and the Upgrade option is unavailable.
I suppose that the PricingAdministrationApplet project is not Telerik supported type (you could check this by right clicking on the project and selection Properties) and this is the reason for the missing Upgrade option.

At the moment we are working to improve the upgrade option and from the next major release it will be not only per project but for the entire solution and also we will update all Telerik references no matter in what kind of projects they are used.

Sorry once again for the inconvenience and please, do not hesitate to contact us if any further questions arise.

All the best,

Actually I am having a very very painful experience trying to upgrade, the upgrade wizard installed the dll's to the following path.

C:\Users\Stuartc\AppData\Roaming\Telerik\Updates\RadControls_for_WPF_40_2011_1_0419_Dev_hotfix\Binaries\WPF\Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll

I need to remove and readd the refs to several projects that the upgrade did not touch,

The library is not available from the Add Reference .Net Tab.

2 entries exist for each dll for my old version but no entries for the new version, so am I supposed to remember that the upgrade installed in above directory and browse to that every time I need to reference the library????

Not having fun and not a happy camper

I love the telerik controls, but not this

Hello Stuart,

You are right that our hotfixes does not populate in the Add Reference .Net Tab (in this tab are populated only the versions that are installed by installer) and you have to browse to the hotfix every time you need to change the reference (unless you use the Add Reference Recent tab).

However our new upgrade functionality is ready and is available in our Q2 Beta release of the WPF controls which will be available till the end of the week (or next week at the latest). So please download it, try the new Upgrade functionality and do not hesitate to share your feedback.

Kind regards,

Hello Rene,

Thank you for reaching us.

The Upgrade Wizard should detect and upgrade all projects that use UI for WPF. These projects are detected by checking if they reference the UI for WPF Telerik.Windows.Controls assembly.

What I would suggest is to do the following:

Install the latest Telerik WPF VSExtensions if you use and older version
Open your solution in Visual Studio
Go to TELERIK > UI for WPF > Upgrade Wizard
Proceed and update your projects

If the Upgrade Wizard does not detect any of your projects, please share some more details about each of them:

What is the project type?
What UI for WPF references it has?
Do these references point to the GAC?

I hope you would find this information helpful.
