Migrating from version 12

Avatar
Alberto Bencivenni

We recommend taking a full backup of your project(s) including your existing Eyeshot 12 DLLs. To migrate your Eyeshot 12 based application to Eyeshot 2020, follow the steps below:

  1. Try to compile your existing project
  2. Run the Project Converter tool
  3. In case of failure:
    a) search for the "TODO devDept" text in your entire Visual Studio solution
    b) check the ProjectConverter log file for errors
    c) check the Breaking Changes list

 

Notes:

If you get the following error loading the project:

Please edit the project file, fill the <HintPath> with the absolute path of the Eyeshot DLLs and try again.

For example, migrating from Eyeshot 12 to Eyeshot 2020, change

<Reference Include="devDept.Eyeshot.Control.v12">
      <HintPath>C:\Users..\devDept.Eyeshot.Control.v12.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

in

<Reference Include="devDept.Eyeshot.Control.v12">
      <HintPath>C:\Program Files\devDept Software\Eyeshot Ultimate 12\Bin\devDept.Eyeshot.Control.v12.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

In case of migration from older versions, you may want to check this article.

    The converter is very good and saved me some trouble. Great work!

    Just a few comments (maybe this helps you to improve the converter even more):

    The converter converts usages of grouped Regexes (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.regularexpressions.match.groups) :

    var regex = new Regex("(...)(...)");
    var match = regex.Match(s);
    //TODO devDept: Now groups are controlled by the Block.
    //var matches = match.Groups;
    var matches = match.CurrentBlock.Groups;

    The converter adds the unused using "using devDept.Graphics;" to many files.

    The converter doesn't change "SmallSize" and "HideSmall" usages. It could comment it out and add a comment like this : //TODO devDept: Now you need to use Model.ActiveViewport.SmallSizeRatio

    Hi Andreas,

    Thanks a lot for the hints, we will check them.

    "The converter adds the unused using "using devDept.Graphics;" to many files."

    This point is not so clear to me, do you mind opening a support ticket with details about it, please?

    Hi, I am trying to Migrate Eyeshot 11 to Eyeshot2020.

    But convert tool says that "Error: Eyeshot 12 is not detected. This project refers to Eyeshot 11."

    Please tell me how to fix it.

    Regards Misha.
