Hello,
I have the new EO Web Objects loaded on my development environment. The EO.Web tools show in the toolbox, but when I try to save the file, it prompts me for the new file. I understood that we didnt need to update this file on the server. What am I doing wrong here? When I update the file on the server with the new DLL (EO Web 8.XX), my web application errors out except the new EO objects. When I copy the old DLL back (6.XXX) the site works but I still get prompted for the new dll when updating the pages.

Hi,

You can't have different versions on your development environment and your projects. Once you updated your development environment, you will need to update your project reference to use the new DLL if you wish to work with that project on your machine. If your projects can not switch to the new version, then you should roll your dev box back to the old version. Please let us know if you have lost the original setup program for the original version. We can provide the download to you.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,
I am having trouble with getting my ASP.NET site to work with the newly updated EO web objects. My site uses EO version 6.xx. I have now upgraded to EO version8.x. When I refresh the DLL with the version 8.x, I receive errors on the parts of the site (on pages that utilize version 6.x objects) saying that the in incorrect version is install and I need the Version 6.x to get the page to work. So then I update the DLL BACK to the 6.X version and the page works but obviously the 8.x version does not.

What am I doing wrong here?
Are the DLL's not backward compatible?
Do I need to rewrite the old objects or essentually "re-bind" the old objects to the new dll somehow?
Is there another file that I need to update, some kind of "global" version?

I'm at my end here. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Think

Hi,

Version 8 is backwards compatible with version 6 but you need to update your project reference and then rebuild your project. Your project and other DLLs in your project (the DLLs that generated from your own code) "remember" that your application is still using V6. So just replacing the DLL is not enough. All your project DLLs need to be regenerated (rebuild) after you updated your project to reference the new DLL.

If you still have problems about how to update DLL reference, you can try to Google online and you should be able to find plenty information about it. It's pretty standard and it's the same for any DLL version change.

Thanks!
