Syncfusion Project Migration is a Visual Studio add-in that allows you to migrate the existing Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC Web Application from one Essential Studio version to another version.

IMPORTANT

The Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC (Essential JS 2) Web Application Project Migration utility is available from v16.3.0.17.

Use the following steps to migrate your existing Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC Web Application.

1. To open Migration Wizard, follow either one of the options below:

   Option 1: Click Syncfusion Menu and choose Essential Studio for ASP.NET MVC (EJ2) > Migrate Project… in Visual Studio.

   

   In Visual Studio 2019, Syncfusion menu is available under Extension in Visual Studio menu.

   Option 2:

   Right-click the Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC Application from Solution Explorer and select Syncfusion Essential JS 2. Choose Migrate the Essential JS 2 Project to Another version…

   

2. The Project Migration window appears. You can choose the required Essential Studio version that is installed in the machine.

   

3. The Project Migration window allows you to configure the following options:

   • Essential Studio Version: Select a version from the list of installed Syncfusion versions.

   • Assets From: Load the Syncfusion Essential JS 2 assets to ASP.NET MVC Project, either NuGet, CDN, or Installed Location.

   Installed location option will be available only when the Syncfusion Essential JavaScript 2 setup has been installed.

4. Click the Migrate Button. The Project Backup dialog appears. In the dialog, if click Yes, it will backup the current project before migrating the Syncfusion project. If click No, it will migrate the project to required Syncfusion version without backup.

   

5. The Syncfusion Reference Assemblies, Scripts, and CSS are updated to the corresponding version in the project.
