Migrating from version 2020

We recommend taking a full backup of your project(s) including your existing Eyeshot 2020 DLLs. To migrate your Eyeshot 2020 based application to Eyeshot 2021, 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 2020 to Eyeshot 2021, change

<Reference Include="devDept.Eyeshot.Control.Win.v2020">
      <HintPath>C:\Users..\devDept.Eyeshot.Control.Win.v2020.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

in

<Reference Include="devDept.Eyeshot.Control.Win.v2020">
      <HintPath>C:\Program Files\devDept Software\Eyeshot Ultimate 2020\Bin\devDept.Eyeshot.Control.Win.v2020.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
