Having difficulty upgrading my old 2002 .net web application to visual studio 2013. I have an older windows desktop with visual studio 20012. .net version 1 and using sql server 2000 dev edition. I just created a trial account with cloudshare and spun up a visual studio 2013 vm and a sql server 2012 vm. I am assuming I can just upload my project / solution to this cloud account and visual studio will walk me through the upgrade. problem I am having is, how do I get my old solution/project up here and what files do I need to copy up ? any advice would be awesome
I have not tried to upgrade from such old version but when you try open the project, VS.NET should try upgrade the project for you. It wouldn't hurt to give it a try. Make sure you back it up first.
Thanks for your reply. My problem now is that I am trying to migrate the files from my old PC to the new environment and am not sure the best way to do it (copy onto a flash drive?). I also don't know what files are needed so that my project will be able to even be upgraded in the new environment. I know the solution file, but what else ? sorry, this is my first upgrade and I am a little confused at how I accomplish this. Thanks again /
Hard to say, it really depends on how the solution was setup. I would first try copy the folder (including sub folders) containing the sln file and try open it on the new computer.
Hi Frank, Thank you again for your reply. I ran into issues upgrading from the older version of VS, so I just went ahead and created a new solution/project on VS 2013. I will just have to go through the code and make sure everything still works. I know some things have changed/become deprecated so I will have to play around. Now I know that I wont wait so long to upgrade the next time Thanks again for your replies Brian
