Hi All,

Currently we are doing a application in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (.Net 3.5) using some of the latest features like WPF, WCF,DevExpressComponent ver 9.0 and the development for the same has almost completed.

However, clients have shown their interest in migrating the developed application in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (.Net 3.5) to Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (.Net 4.0) and DevExpressComponent ver 9 to DevExpressComponent ver 13.2

I don't have an idea about the expected challenges in the migration !!

What will be the challenges with WPF controls if updated DevExpressComponent ver 9 to DevExpressComponent ver 13?

Any thoughts or comments?

Thanks for your comments and advices in advance. :)

In terms of DevExpress you'll have to review their Breaking Changes backlog. It all depends on which controls you are using in your projects. If you can, wait a little while longer and move to version 14 which is due out in the near future.

As for .NET 3.5 to 4.0, there aren't a whole lot of breaking changes that I can remember. When you open your project created in VS2008 in VS2010, visual studio may perform a solution migration and will point out warnings and errors. Again, it all depends on what type of application and what controls and APIs are being used. For a list of changes from 3.5 to 4.0 follow this link:
