We just installed VS 2005 on our PC's and want to upgrade our DNN projects so that we can use ASP.NET 2.0 features like the GridView. We're just not sure if this is such a good idea, i.e. a simple task.

If we simply allow the VS 2005 upgrade wizard do this and then change the .NET Framework version of the virtual directory using a simple tool like ASP.NET Version Switcher (which, by the way, works like a charm), will everything work?

Thank you in advance.

I didn't find it to be a simple task.  But, then, I was looking for a bit more than just moving it all over.

If I had to do it over again.  I'd use the instructions I just posted here http://www.dmbcllc.com/Articles/WebDevelopment/DotNetNukePAwASPNET20/tabid/260/Default.aspx to create a DNN PA for DNN 4.x and then I'd copy the 3.x files into that project in the correct locations (ie, you'll need to put your business layer in app_code).  If you can get something to convert from codebehind to codebeside for you, great!  Otherwise, you'll need to do that by hand, which isn't difficult, but can be a bit tediuos if you have a lot of ascx/aspx files.

Your other option, which doesn't require the conversion from codebehind to codebeside is to create a web application project.  Personally, I find it frustrating working in WAP because it smells a lot like working in Visual Studio 2003 which I've learned to dislike.

Christ! That certainly does not sound like an easy task. I will, however, bookmark your very informative article and use it as soon as we decide it's time to migrate. Seems we will have to stick with 1.1 for now.

Thanks a lot for your invaluable feedback!
