Help us test the updated Upgrade Wizard features in VS 2005!
Visual Studio 2005 will automatically convert your ASP.NET 1.x web application when it is opened in the IDE. Our goal is to minimize the amount of coding you need to do manually after running the migration wizard and we need your help!
If you are interested in upgrading your web application from ASP.NET 1.x to 2.0, then you may want to check out the brand new prototype of the upgrade wizard. Brian Goldfarb is looking for volunteers to help test it to see how it performs on converting your exisiting Web projects.
This new prototype includes fixes to:
1. Handle code-behind to code-behind assembly references
2. Allow stand-alone class files to access web forms and user controls
3. Handle extra classes, structs, etc., found in code-behind files
A white paper outlining common upgrade issues can be found here with even more information at the upgrade center on MSDN
If you are ready and willing to help out, check out Brian Goldfarb's blog for links to the binaries and more info on how to get involved.
