Hi,
We need to move an old ASP.NET 1.1 solution from a Windows 2003 server to a Windows 2008 R2 server.
The old solution uses Infragistics NetAdvantage 2004 Vol. 3 (ASP.NET Only).
Questions:
1. Would Infragistics NetAdvantage 2004 Vol. 3 run on Windows 2008 R2 server without any modifications to the solution ?
2. If we decide to upgrade to NetAdvantage 2009 Vol 2 or later:
- do we need to recompile old solution's Visual Studio project with new NetAdvantage 2009 components OR ? ( we currently run Visual Studio 2003)
- do we just perform straight install of new NetAdvantage 2009 components on the server would be enough?
3. Please outline a process of upgrade to NetAdvantage 2009 (or later) components .
Many thanks.
Yours Sincerely,
Davor Mitrasevic
Many thanks for your reply, Jason.

Hi Davor,
1) It may work, but we do not support 2004.3 any more, so we wouldn't know if it works or not. I would assume it would, but can't say for sure.
2) You need to upgrade the entire solution to CLR 3.5 or higher, run the Version Utility to update all of the assembly references and namespaces, recompile.
There have been around 20 releases of NetAdvantage for ASP.NET since 2004.3, so the liklihood of your re-compile failing are fairly high. There will be breaking changes.
In our help docs, we list the breaking changes for each release, so you can see what you are up against if you run into issues.

Hope this helps,
