Hi Anybody is familiar with DevExpress in Microsoft Visual C#?

My boss gave me the code to study and this code has the version of DevExpress 8.3. And I would like to open this code in my laptop which has already a version of DevExpress 9.1 Would that be a problem finding the files? Thanks a lot!

Regards tintincute

If you want to just look at the code, it should be fine.

For compiling, you have to convert the project to use DevExpress 9.1. You can either use the DevExpress tool to upgrade or manually remove and add the references to use 9.1.

I also would like to compile the code. How will I convert the project to use DevExpress 9.1?
tintincute
Do you have a tool called XTraConvertor or ProjectConvertor under your DevExpress 9.1 Programs Menu?

hey thanks Gulzar. Yes I have the ProjectConverter under DeveloperExpress vxxx - Components - Tools.Shall I simply click this one? At the moment my other PC don't have an internet connection. Can I still do that?

DevExpress has a convertion tool located under start -> all programs -> developper .NET vx.x -> tools -> ProjectConvertor

That should do the trick

Thanks Tarscher, should I just simply click on the ProjectConverter? can I still do it although I don't have internet? My other Pc is not connected to the internet...
tintincute
no internet connection required. It's the project file you need to open and convert.
Tarscher
Do I just simply click this ProjectConverter?
tintincute
click it, select the project and click upgrade
Tarscher
I was asked about the Project Path. Shall I select the folder where I saved my project?This means,my code folder name as Assistant shall I just select this one?
tintincute
last night I added some reference to it. Will it be a problem? Because now I'm seeing under my References - DevExpress.Data v8.3 and DevExpress.Data v9.1. can i simply delete the new references I added yesterday? Or can I just leave it and then upgrade?
tintincute
leave them and upgrade.
Tarscher
ok I think I just did it. Now I'm seeing a message conversion complete. But I didn't get any thing what to do, can I just simply close this?
tintincute
yes, close it and open up in Visual Studio.
Tarscher
hey Tarscher thank you so much for your help. Now the code is working in my PC:-) I hope I can understand the code in the program. It's fun working like this;-) have a good day ahead;-)
tintincute
nice to hear it's working
