Update Product Name
In early 2006 some of our components went through a name change. For more information please read Changes in Product Name. If you have one of the affected products and want to use the new version of the component, you need to update your application.

We strongly 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 have to remove the reference to the old component name. For the sake of this example we will be using Aspose.Project.

To remove the old reference, right click the old component name in the references section of the Solution Explorer and click Remove on the menu.

Step 3: Adding a reference to the new component
In the Visual Studio environment:
  1. Click the menu option Project.
  2. Click the sub-menu option Add Reference
  3. In the Add Reference dialogue, locate the Aspose component that you want to add a reference to.
    All of the Aspose components begin with the word Aspose, so they are typically close to the top of the list.
  4. Double click the Aspose component.
    The component appears in the Selected Components list.
  5. Click OK.

Step 4: Changing the reference in all of your program files
Still in Visual Studio:
  1. Select Find and Replace from the Edit menu.
  2. Select Replace in Files.

    The Replace in Files dialogue opens.
  3. Type the old component name in the Find What field.
  4. Type the new name in the Replace With field.
  5. Select Keep modified files open after Replace All
    This allows you to review the changes once complete.
  6. De-select Look in subfolders.
    Be careful not to update any files aside from your program files.



Conclusion
Once the process is complete, run your application 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.
