Updating an Application to the April CTP

Hello,

I am trying to update a web application to use the April CTP. I have refreshed the the Atlas .dll, but the application still seems to be referencing the March version. Any new application works fine when using from the Visual Studio Atlas Template based on the updates provided by the April CTP.

Is there a Manual way to make sure that I am using the newer version on an application that was started using the March version?Normally, you can't use March CTP and April CTP together. You have to uninstall the March CTP before installing the April CTP. From then, you applications written with the March CTP will now work with the April CTP.

Hope this helps
It's possible that your browser is caching the old Javascript includes I suppose - have you tried clearing your cache? Or setting debug=true?

Otherwise, if you've copied the microsoft.atlas dll into the bin directory of your app, I can't see what might be causing the problem.

Thanks,
Carlos

hello.

copying the new dll should solve the problem you're having. why do you say your app is using the march version?

Hi Luis,

It's not our app...it's the files that get installed. We are just now adding Atlas to our application. When the installer runs, it puts the zip files for the Atlas project into the Project Templates folder defined in VS 2005, and installs some stuff into C:\Program Files\<see previous post>. Those files, from what I can gather, is what is used for a new Atlas project.

When I create a new Atlas project after installing the April CTP, the Microsoft.Web.Atlas.dll has a file version of 2.0.50727.60309, dated 3/17/06, and the readme.txt that pops up has the same date in it. Unless I'm missing something, this is the March CTP.

All I'm doing is trying to install the April CTP and create a new app from it. I uninstalled the project templates from the location specified by the VS 2005 setting before running it, and it still put the March CTP files into that location. I'd suspect that it's providing a cached version of the project when it creates the new one, but even the files in Program Files are old.

Thanks,
John

Hey All -

It must have been some wierd caching either within our network or in the browser. I dusted off Mozilla to try downloading it; the first click downloaded the Mart CTP again. But downloading through the direct 'If your download doesn't start...' link got the correct one.

Very strange.

Thanks,
John

hello again.

well, yes, the files placed on the program files\microsoft asp.net\atlas are everything you need to deploy your app.

and yes, it looks like you have the wrong version. mine says:2.0.50727.60406

I guess I should have clarified... it seems to be using the "March CTP" based on the errors that still existed. After the removal of the March CTP and Installation of the April, all hot fixes work fine... except in an application that was created using the March CTP. That one does not want to update.

Thanks for you replies!

hello.

updating that app should be as easy as dropping the new dll on the bind folder. have you checked the version of the dll on the bin folder? according to your previous post, it seems like you're still using the olde version...
