Our development team is working hard to ensure that you can upgrade your web application as smooth as possible in less efforts. You can easily migrate your existing web application to use version 2.5 by simply changing the assembly references to 2.5 assemblies.
To upgrade an existing ASP.NET 2.0 web application to use WebDesktop.NET 2.5, please do the following:
- Open an existing web application in Visual Studio 2005/Express
- Expand Bin folder
- Remove ISNet.dll, ISNet.WebUI.dll and ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.dll
- Right click on the Project node then click Add Reference
- Add ISNet.dll, ISNet.WebUI.dll from [Installation Folder]\WebUI.NET Framework 3.0\Bin [Note that the file version should be 3.0.5000.400+]
- Add ISNet.WebUI.WebDesktop.dll from [Installation Folder]\WebDesktop.NET 2.5\Bin
