Upgrading ReportViewer from v8 to v9 (VS2005 to VS2009) - reportviewer

I've got an ASP.NET v2 application which I've just upgraded to ASP.NET v3.5, moving from VS2005 to VS2008 at the same time. The application uses the Microsoft ReportViewer. A new version of the ReportViewer is included with VS2008 (v9.0.0.0) but the upgrade wizard doesn't automatically update the reports from v8 to v9.
I can change the references manually but wondered if there was anything else to do to upgrade?
Cheers, Rob.

The reports (rdl/rdlc files) don't need to be updated, they will work fine.

How to update Visual Studio 2017 Template from ASP.NET Core 2.0 to 2.1

I have installed Visual Studio 2017 Community Version 15.7.5 2 days back and everything is up-to-date but the version of ASP.Net Core is 2.0 and I need it to be 2.1.
I am unable to find a way to update it to version 2.1. I have also searched the internet but there are ways to upgrade projects not to update this. So any ideas or help would be appreciated
It looks like the SDK for .NET Core 2.1 is not installed. I have recently faced the same issue after .NET Core 2.1 was released.
To solve it, download and install the SDK for .NET Core 2.1 following the steps below. Also, note that you need to run Visual Studio 2017 15.7 or newer version, as specified in the .NET Core 2.1 download page.
Close all running Visual Studio instances.
Download the .NET Core SDK from the Microsoft download page. At the time of writing this answer, you will find version 2.1 to be the latest available.
Run the installer and follow the installation steps.
Run Visual Studio: now you should be able to create .NET Core applications targeting version 2.1.

VS 2012 published web service and click once deployment don't reflect newer version of software

VS 2012 published web service and click once deployment of a Windows forms application based on VB.NET and .Net 4.0 don't serve up the newer version of the software. They keep on serving the previous version. However it works fine with VS 2010. This is on IIS 7/7.5.
Anyone have any idea about it?
Thanks.
Never mind. I had to clean and rebuild. VS 2012 added an extra step over 2010.

VS2012 RTM missing .net 4.5 and mvc project templates

On Windows 8 RTM and just installed Vs2012 Ultimate RTM, I'm unable to create a .net 4.5 project nor a .net 4 or 4.5 ASP.NET MVC project. I've done a repair of VS2012, which did not fix it. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?
I also had the same problem..
Doing the following procedure solved it.
Copy the folder \packages\WPT from the visual studio 2012 installer CD to your desktop.
Uninstall the following in this order..
aspnetmvc4vs11tools.msi
aspnetmvc4.msi
aspnetmvc3vs11tools.msi
aspnetmvc3.msi
Then install these in this order.
aspnetmvc3.msi
aspnetmvc3vs11tools.msi
aspnetmvc4.msi
aspnetmvc4vs11tools.msi
Trying to repair didn't fix the problem. You have to remove and install these..
Hope this will help...
Your install is probably corrupted. VS 2012 needs .net 4.5 to run, so something has gone wrong if it's not available.
I would try uninstalling and reinstalling. It's brute force but it generally works.
You probably do not have the Windows 8.1 SDK installed. Visual Studio 2012, nor its updates, link the .NET Framwork 4.5 libraries for development.
Windows 8.1 SDK
You don't have to install the full SDK if you are just looking for the option to build web apps, just the .NET Framework 4.5.1 option in the installer. The full install is about 1.1GB, but just the .NET installer is only 72MB.
For those reading this that have not updated their copy of Visual Studio 2012, make sure you also have these installed:
Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
ASP.NET and Web Tools 2013.1 for Visual Studio 2012
Hope this helps!
Change .net framework version to 4.5

Targeting .NET 4.0 in VS 2012 on Windows 8

I just installed VS 2012 Ultimate RTM on Windows 8 Pro RTM and tried to open a solution containing several projects (class libraries and WinForms) targeting .NET 4.0.
When the solution is loaded, VS prompts that .NET 4.0 isn't supported. It gives me the chance to update my projects to 4.5 (and promises that I could change the target later) or install a "Multi targeting pack" for 4.0 from this page.
I decided to update my projects to 4.5 because I had no luck installing the offered Multi targeting pack (errors see below).
Unfortunately, VS does not show 4.0 as a target by default (when changing the target for an updated project), but redirects me to the page where I can download the Multi targeting pack.
So far so good, but I wasn't able to install any of the offered downloads (neither runtime nor targeting pack) again.
The error message says in case of .NET Framework 4.0.3 Targeting Pack:
Setup has detected that this computer does not meet the requirements to install this software. The following blocking issues must be resolved before you can install KB2600213 software package.
Installation Requirements:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack was not found. Please repair your installation for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 in order to get this update.
Strange enough since I have no VS2010 installed.
.NET Framework 4.0.3 Runtime Installation stops with the following error:
KB2600211 does not apply, or is blocked by another condition on your computer.
I've checked that .NET 4.0 is installed (using the .NET Installation verification tool), I've tried to repair VS2012 but nothing let me target .NET 4 and the Event log does not contain any related reports. Any suggestions or hints (besides going back to Win7/VS2010)?
I'm honestly not sure what's going on. I have VS 2012 Ultimate RTM and all versions of .NET are supported.
I'm almost positive I never installed any .NET frameworks manually, though I did install Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone from http://create.msdn.com.

Error in migrating website to sitefinity 5.0

Error in migrating website to sitefinity 5.0
I want to migrate the website from the older version to the newer version, For that i am using sitefinity Project manager.
I've hosted my older website to the IIS server and now i am trying to migrate that website to new sitefinity version 5.0. the older version is 3.7
I have downloaded the telerik sitefinity 5.0
Firstly i imported the project from the inetpub root folder.
i browse it and it runs perfectly.
Now for migration i select Actions - > Set SF 3.7 for migration
then i select the project Root folder and the site url and click on the Continue button to migrate.
But it gives me error like this :
Installation package for the build version of the specified SF3.7 project is missing.
What colud be the proper solution for this?
I am using .net framework 3.5 for the site.
is your Sitefinity 3.7 site running the latest service pack 4? this is required for migration.
also make sure the 3.7 site is running in IIS and not using the visual studio web server or anything different.
hope this is helpful!
got solution from telerik,
I've to use standard edition to perform migration, while I was using community edition
