issue with assembly reference

Sitefinity - Upgrading Sitefinity

Hello, I have downloaded the migration tool,
www.sitefinity.com/.../sitefinity-migration-tool.aspx

and have been following the instructions line by line. My issue is baffling - because it's such an easy step. From the documentation...

• Expand the References node of this project and fix all the missing references by pointing them to DLL files in the /bin folder of your main 3.7 website project
• Right-click on the MigrationExportService project and select Build. You will get a file named MigrationExportService.dll in MigrationExportService/bin/Debug


My problem is, I have loaded all the new references to my old 3.7 project (3.7.2136.140:0). When I BUILD the MigrationExportService, I get 46 errors, all because the project can't find a reference to the assemblies I added. 

Please see the attached video -- and provide any help you can.

Note:: I've tried using both .NET 3.5 and 4.0. My original project is in .NET 4.0

Thanks!

Hi Mexner,

Could you check the target .NET version of your MigrationExportService project and the version against which is compiled your Sitefinity 3.7 project. They should match - e.g. both should be 4.0. If your Sitefinity project is for .NET 4.0 then you can change the target version of your MigrationExportService to 4.0 (eventually by adding/removing a reference System.Web.ApplicationServices) and try again.

Kind regards,

Hi Lubomir,

I have done that. My 3.7 site is .NET 4.0. When I attempt to target the migrationExportService to .NET 4.0 - it errors out (See screen shot).

If I take my 3.7 SF site to .NET 3.5 and take the migrationExportService to .NET 3.5, i get the errors you saw in the video from my original post.

Thanks,

Hi Mexner,

Please build the tool against .NET 4.0. Add a reference to System.Web.ApplicationServices.

Thanks Lubomir, that worked.

Will you be releasing a version of the Sitefinity v. 3.7 Migration Tool for both .Net 3.5 as well as .Net 4.0 due to the breaking changes in .Net 4.0 regarding assembly references?

When I compiled my solution against .Net v. 4.0, I got the following build error messages:

C:\Software\Telerik\280162_SitefinityMigration-0-7-Beta\MigrationExportService\MigrationExportService.cs(294,54): warning CS0618: 'Telerik.Cms.Web.UI.DynamicHyperLink' is obsolete: 'This control is obsolete. Please use Telerik.Cms.Engine.WebControls.DynamicHyperLink instead'

Please advise.

Hi Samir Vaidya,

These are not errors, these are warnings. You can safely ignore them.

All the best,
