Did you run the upgrade tool to tell you what needed to be changed? You might check out the reference tool to see what it changed to from v7 to v8.

Class

CMS.CMSOutputFilter.OutputFilter

was moved to

CMS.OutputFilter.ResponseOutputFilter

Hello Aashish,

the easiest way to find out API changes in Kentico 8 is to use the following page: List of all changes in Kentico 8 API + on the same page you can download the Kentico code upgrade tool.

Best regards, Martin

Hello Martin,

I tried KENTICO CODE UPGRADE TOOL but it requires framework 4.5 as a prerequisite. I have 4.0 installed on my server so its not working and throwing exceptions.

@Aashish, the link was in my initial post but it looks like I pasted the wrong link and the formatting of the links on the site is hard to read sometimes. http://devnet.kentico.com/documentation/api-changes/374

If you have a local copy of your code not on the server then install .net 4.5 and run it from there and have it evaluate your site.
