I assume if I'm running 4.1 SP1, I should upgrade to SP2 or SP3 and then to 4.2? Based on the release notes, it doesn't look like you can do a SP1 direct upgrade.

Thanks

Hi Eric,

Sitefinity 4.1 to Sitefinity 4.2 should work okay. It's a scenario we tested. There is no need to upgrade through the service packs.

Regarding Sitefinity 4.0, we recommend upgrading to 4.1 before proceeding to 4.2.

Hey all,
I have same problem for switching from SF 4.1 to SF4.2.

Actually in our solution there are a few modules which are in separated projects, so for converting the project to the new version I've done following steps:

1- I've upgrated the project by Sitefinity project manager.
2- I've changed the references to new version dlls for modules projects.
3- I fixed .csproj files of module projects:
3.1: OpenAccess_Enhancing="True"
3.2: <Import Condition="Exists('$(OpenAccessPath)\OpenAccess.targets')" Project="$(OpenAccessPath)\OpenAccess.targets" />

but now I have following errors:
1. When I'm trying to load the project website, it gets lots of performance and after a while says:

Application id class 'Telerik.OpenAccess.RT.OID.GuidIdentity' must have field: 'public System.Guid Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.Content.contentId'

and sometimes

Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

Exception Details: System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

and in Modules pages in backend I can see my entities but when I'm trying to update or add a new one it throw errors!
Its pretty Urgent right now, and any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Majid!

Hello Majid,

Sitefinity doesn`t migrate modules when sitefinity project is upgraded to a higher version. Can you open a support ticket and send me the module before you upgraded it (as it was working in previous version). I will try to add it to Sitefinity 4.2 project at my end.

Additionally I presume you have Sitefinity 4.2 SDK installed(with the new version of OpenAccess). It is needed for module enhancing because enhancer.exe is located in

Copy Code

<PropertyGroup>

<OpenAccessPath>$(SolutionDir)..\..\..\..\..\Common\Dependencies\</OpenAccessPath>

If you don`t have this installed please install it as it will enhance the module. For proper configuration of .csproj file please refer to productsmodule .csproj for Sitefinity 4.2.
