Upgrading from 2.3a to 3.1a
Hi,

Was just wondering if I could get some feedback about the issue that we need to worry about in migrating a site from 2.3a to 3.1a.

We already know we have to do it step by step up the upgrade ladder, but are wondering what things changed and may need to be adjusted at our end. Most of the site is using out-of-the-box functionality, but we have written a few custom controls that utilizes the membership provider. Just want to make sure these will still work, or what adjustments may need to be made.

Thanks in advance.

Tx,
Virgil

RE:Upgrading from 2.3a to 3.1a
Hi,

Most of the problems were caused by not following the upgrade manual:
- users have not copied the new files to the project
- connection to the old DB or the SQL script was executed twice
- using 2.x license keys in 3.x version


If you have customized some of the default project files, you need to take care that your changes will be reflected to the new version. If you are using some custom handlers, you may only need to refresh the reference and build new dll files so the versions will match.
