Upgrading is pretty simple, unless you made changes to the base framework.

Hi Larry and Ivan.

Thanks a bunch for the quick response. FWIW, Larry, for exactly the reason you mention above, it is always better to subclass the framework classes that you want to modify and make your changes to your subclass. That way you never need to remember what changes you made and keep making them every time you upgrade Wink

Upgrading is pretty simple, unless you made changes to the base framework.

  • Download the latest framework and source installers from your account area.
  • Just to be safe, backup your StrataFrame database
  • Run the framework installer. It will automatically remove the previous framework, install the new framework, and update the SF database.
  • Since you are upgrading a previously activated installation you can skip the activation step
  • The first time you open VS after the upgrade it will ask you if you want to upgrade the toolbox, answer yes.
  • You should be good to go.

If you use the source code install it. If you've made changes to any of the source, make your changes and recompile. I've modified the infragistics wrapper to use the readonly property instead of the enabled property so this is an added step for me.

If you use the Enterprise server you'll need to update that. Make sure you use the manual upgrade instead of running the install for a new server. Also I believe that there may have been some changes to the ES server that will require that you recompile any application built with a previous SF version in order to operate with the updated ES.

The SF guys have made the entire process very easy. I've never had any problems.

Hey Marcia.

If you haven't already, on the SF website, go to the My Account, Downloads. Download the StrataFrame Setup (and the others, if you wish).

Then, just run the downloaded StrataFrame.exe, which will take care of everything needed for the installation.

How do I go about updating my current version of Strataframe to the most recent?

Thanks!
