Update Product Name

In early 2006 some of our components went through a name change. For more information please consult Changes in Product Name. If your product name has been updated and you would like to use the new version of the component, there are a few simple steps that you can follow in order to update your application.

First, and most importantly, we encourage you to make a backup of your application before beginning the process.

Step 1: Opening your application

Open your project in the Visual Studio .Net environment.

Step 2: Removing the old component reference

In the “Solution Explorer” window, you will need to remove the reference to the old component name. For the sake of this example we will be using Aspose.Project. In order to remove the old reference, right click on the old component name (in the references section of the Solution Explorer) and click “Remove” on the menu that appears.

Step 3: Adding a reference to the new component

In the Visual Studio environment do the follow actions:

Click the menu option “Project”
Click the sub menu option “Add Reference”

On the “Add Reference” dialogue you will need to locate the name of the Aspose component that you would like to add a reference to. Since all of the Aspose components begin with the word Aspose, they will typically be close to the top of the list. Once you have located the Aspose component in the list, do the following actions:

Double click the Aspose component item in the list… This will cause the component to appear in the lower “selected components” list.
Click the OK button

Step 4: Changing the reference in all of your program files

In the Visual Studio environment do the follow actions:

Click the menu option “Find and Replace”
Click the sub menu option “Replace in Files”

On the “Replace in Files” dialogue do the following actions

Type the old component name in the “Find What” textbox
Type the new name in the “Replace With” textbox
Check the option “Keep modified files open after Replace All”
- That will all you to review the changes once complete
Uncheck the option “Look in subfolders” option
- You want to be careful not to update any files aside from your program files

Conclusion

Once the process is complete, you will want to run your application in order to ensure that you do not encounter any errors. If you do encounter errors and are not able to resolve them, please contact our technical staff through our forums and we will be very glad to help.
