.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / January 2006Visual Studio 2005 Asp.net Convert wizard
Hi We have a rather large asp.net 1.1 project. We have considered til convert 2.0 in the near future. We have done a couple of test conversions using the build in Migration tool which pop up when opening a asp 1.1 solution file. It went ok besides a few issues. Now i have installed the patch to fix som issues regarding this tool : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=7cecd652-fc04-4ef8-a28a -25c5006677d8&DisplayLang=en Ok. But to me it seemes that somethings has changed. First of all the conversion is not valid anymore. I think the problem might be that it converts the solution in the original directory as the old solution. As far as I remembers (I might be wrong) i could choose as destenation for the convertet solution (anohter dir) But is option is not available anymore. It just says: Conversion type: In-place with no backup As the first screen with no option to do anything except to press Cancel or Finish were Finish starts thr Conversion. Can i start the migration wizard up somehow in a more "advanced" mode? Regards Anders Anders, why not just copy everything to a new virtual directory and run the wizard on it from there?

Ok. That actually did it. Don't know why i didnt think about it. But now i have another question. As far as i undestand Vs. 2005 asp.net 2.0 does not use sln og project file anymore due to the new compilation strategy. But after I have convertert my 1.1 project i still have the solution file ets. If I open this solution file everyting works pefectly. But how can this be? If I open the converted project with Open Website nothing works anymore. I get some compile error and I can't launch my website. My folder structure is like the following with 2 websites wihtin one solution. Solution WebProject1 WebProject1 Class lib1 Class lib2 Class lib3 Etc. I though that i needed the Beta web Project thing Microsoft has just released to keep working as I did in Vs.2003? Confussed...yes.. Regards Anders The beta ASP.NET Web Project "Thing" is not finished, its just a preview release. And I doubt it would work with a converted project as you didn't originally start out with it. Yes, it is confusing! And they haven't made it easier by releasing pieces "after the fact".

Im not sure if you actually answered? I havent touched the ASP.NET Web Project at all I just can't undestand why my Visual Studio 2005 RTM have converted my asp.net 1.1 to a 2.0 WITH solution files and projects when its stated that the asp.net 2.0 model is WITHOUT solutions etc. I just mentioned the ASP.NET Web Project "Thing" because it looks like Visual Studio 2005 RTM is using this model..native.. Actually i have no idea wehter there IS any problem. Im just confussed why i have a solution file in my asp,net 2,0 Is my problem / concerns undestandable? Regards Anders Hi Anders, > I just can't undestand why my Visual Studio 2005 RTM have converted my > asp.net 1.1 to a 2.0 WITH solution files and projects when its stated that > the asp.net 2.0 model is WITHOUT solutions etc. As I understand it, the rules are slightly different for "Projects" vs "WebSites". For Projects you still have solutions and project files, but WebSites are now just treated (the whole thing) as a project so you don't need a project file anymore, however, you can still have a "solution" with WebSites inside it if you want. I've had some major problems trying to convert true IIS "WebSites" from 1.1 to "FileSystem" WebSites in 2.0, in that the *.csproj file was not deleted after the conversion and then it tries to convert it again! I've just downloaded the conversion wizard "update" to see if it is any better. SignatureGerry Hickman (London UK) Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
