I have a 1.5 web app that needs updates so (sigh) I have to update it to 1.6 and need some direction please.



I will start with web.config. What needs to be updated in the following? just the version or the tokens as well? if so.... to what?



anything else you can think of that might be helpful would be great.



Also, please consider making future versions backward compatible. I love SF but having to update a project just to do a minor cosmetic change doesn't seem right.



Thanks,



Keith

Yes, I cant spell today.



Another question. So I am going to have to update my web server as well once I get my changes done and the proiject is in 1.6, what if I have multiple applications already running on the same target server (and complete) that are done with 1.5..... are they going to run when I install the 1.6 DLL's to the GAC on my server?



Do I install both versions to the GAC?



I admit I am a bit confused on how this is supposed to work.

hello?

sorry to bug but I have a customer wanting updates done.

Keith Chisarik

it would probably help if I posted the web.config snippet.... sorry

We are having to be more careful and strip a bit more because of the issues we ran into a while back when the forum was up and down for a week or two.  Someone posted something that killed the RegEx and certain forums on the site.

Do you still have he 1.5 assemblies because you can run the 1.5 and 1.6 side-by-side in the GAC.

No I removed them because Trent told me the licensing was changed so that was not a viable option, certain designers would not work with the 1.5 assemblies.




Keith Chisarik

Yeah, the licensing did change.  But one thing that you might try is add the new license file to the GAC as well.  This way the 1.5 and 1.6 may work in tandem.  I have not tried this, but it is worth a shot.

The point of my original post was really not to run 1.5 and 1.6, I gave up on that.



My needs:



Part 1 (development):

I have a web project in 1.5, it does need updating and will more so in the future. How do I update a 1.5 web project to 1.6 please?



There are no references to add/remove from the VS project since they are loaded in web.config via the lines pasted above.



I can change the version number easy enough, but dont know what to do about the "public key token" referenced.



Part 2 (production):

Can a web 1.5 web project (of which I have a few now), run side by side with a 1.6 web project on the same server so long as the DLL's for each version are installed to the GAC on the production web server?



Thank you.
