Upgrading from Symbol Factory ActiveX to Symbol Factory .NET

The first thing to realize is that Symbol Factory .NET is not an upgrade to the Symbol Factory ActiveX control. Any of your old projects will not automatically upgrade from using the ActiveX control.

However, it is perfectly acceptable to have both the .NET and ActiveX controls on the same Visual Studio project. So, to "upgrade" your ActiveX version, do the following:

1. Place the SF.NET components into your toolbox (this should have already been done for you by the installation program if you choose for it to do so).
2. For every Standard control you have, place a new SF.NET standard control next to it. Set the properties exactly as you did for the ActiveX version.
3. For every Cutaway control you have, place a new SF.NET cutaway control next to it. Set the properties exactly as you did for the ActiveX version.

Also note: For each piece of code that you wrote which referenced the older ActiveX controls, you will now need to change the object from the ActiveX Control to the .NET Control. For example, suppose you had this line:
SFStandard1.AnalogValue1 = 50

And the SF.NET component "StandardControl1" replaced it, the new line of code will be:
StandardControl1.AnalogValue1 = 50
