Upgrading Industrial Gadgets .NET

Creating a Backup (VERY IMPORTANT)

You MUST always BACKUP your full Visual Studio.NET project so that you can revert back if necessary. Never overwrite your backup project! Keep multiple project copies backing up at each major step and naming your backup folders with obvious names. We cannot stress the importance of backups enough!

Licensing

If you are already licensed for an older Industrial Gadgets .NET, no new Licensing steps are required as part of the upgrade. The license will be properly detected after the upgrade.

Users may purchase a license through the Online Store, or by contacting our sales team for an official quotation.

Installation

  1. Run the new Industrial Gadgets .NET Installer.
  2. This will install right over the top of the presently installed build.

Verify Successful Upgrade

It is no longer necessary to run Visual Studio as administrator after V1.0.0.108

  1. Once installed, run a supported Visual Studio version.
  2. Verify that Industrial Gadgets .NET components were automatically added to the VSToolbox under Industrial Gadgets .NET Lib 1 & 2 tabs.
  3. Confirm that the IndustrialGadgetDotNet1.dll and IndustrialGadgetDotNet2.dll references in the Solution Explorer are updated to the new version.
  4. Open the Form and Run the application. You should not get any errors.

At this point, you have successfully upgraded your Industrial Gadgets .NET and are now able to utilize all the new features.
