ASP.Net 2.0 migration: Round 2
Ok I finally manage to get a bit of more time to have a
try at VS 2005 Beta 2.
My first attempt
a couple of weeks ago has failed to migrate one serious
project I am managing with .Net 1.1
Scott Guthrie
contacted me regarding the issues I got, and well because
I don't see any NDA in his reply, I can tell that they are
working hard to make everybody happy with the new
framework.
I received a couple of new
assemblies from
Michael Bundschuh
regarding a new migration wizard tool which I intend to
try this week-end.
I just hope this will have a
better ending than the first time. I am anyway still
convinced that Visual Studio 2005 is still not ready for
the 7th of November, but Microsoft prove me wrong.
From the readme text coming with the zip file:
README
Thank you for downloading this prototype of the
migration wizard (compatible with the Beta 2 version of
Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Web Developer). This prototype
has the ability to add Reference directives and generate
abstract base class stub files in order to automate and
minimize the number of broken references your web
application may encounter when converting from ASP.NET 1.x
to ASP.NET 2.0
