We are (finally) ready to update our LLBLGen usage! We are currently on v2.6 and looking to move all the way to 5.3.

Is there any kind of a guide, whitepaper or best practices tutorial that would help us in this jump?

Thanks!

Greg

I do see the changes doc here: http://www.llblgen.com/documentation/5.2/LLBLGen%20Pro%20RTF/migratingcode.htm

I'm hoping for more narrative to supplement my process in going "all the way" from 2.6.

simple_smile That's the list of breaking changes we've made in the past 10 years since v2.6, but it might very well be you won't run into them, or only in some cases. For every project it's different what the impact will be, so all we can do is give a list of 'this has chanced', sadly. I'd at least look through it from bottom to top, where most changes are around v2.6->v3 and v3->v4. From v4->v5 is rather uneventful and shouldn't affect you much.

Additionally, many people before you have migrated away from v2.6 to v3 or higher, and it's likely if you run into an issue regarding migration it's already been asked here so you should be helped with these answers pretty quickly (unless your issue is unique of course wink ).

Thanks for the evening reply Otis! Anxious to 1) get current and 2) take advantage of some of the new "stuff".

Unfortunately, most component / library vendors do well with reference materials but struggle with How To type info / guides to getting the most out of it. Has long been the case.

We'll go for it and come back here, per your advice, as needed.
