I am trying to migrate an application that uses the 11.1 version of Infragistics to the latest version 13.2 and I have several questions:
1) I understand that in order to run the automatic upgrader, I need to already have the classic controls replaced with the new ones “manually”. Of course, the application won’t compile, since the new controls don’t exist in the old dlls that are still referenced in my application. Having said that, how can I know if what I am doing is right if I can’t compile my application? How can I know how exactly each control is migrated?
2) As a possible solution for that issue, I decided to first replace all my 11.1 dlls with my 13.2 ones, and of course, I need to change the references, but here’s the thing, I can’t seem to find the correlation between the old dlls and the new ones, I mean, which new dll is the replacement for the old one. The same thing happens with the controls, for example, I have a UltraWebTab that should be replaced with the WebTab, but I have no idea whatsoever in which dll that control is, and that is happening with all de controls I have to replace.
3) Once I change the reference to the new dlls, how can I know exactly which number version the dlls are? For example, my previous version is 11.1.20111.1006
I really hope you can point me in the right direction, or to a good detailed documentation on how the controls must be replaced, because I am pretty lost in here, and I can’t seem to find anywhere the information I need in order to achieve a successful migration.
Thank you very much in advance for the help and I look forward to your answer.
Regards.

Hello Nicole,
Regarding your first 2 questions, I suggest referring to the following thread for more information on using the classic and AIKIDO assemblies side by side:
http://ko.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/65563.aspx
The latest assembly list available can be found at:
http://help.infragistics.com/doc/ASPNET/2013.2/CLR4.0/?page=Web_Deployment_Overview.html
The version number of referenced assemblies may be viewed by either clicking on the individual reference in the project's References and inspecting the entry's properties, or alternatively, the same information may be available from the web.config, for instance:
<add assembly="Infragistics4.WebUI.Documents.Reports.v13.2, Version=13.2.20132.2028, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7DD5C3163F2CD0CB" />
Hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
Please feel free to contact me if you need more information regarding this matter.
