    Reference Migration
    In This Topic

    This topic explains how to upgrade your project references (.dlls) in your project. ActiveReports 14 does not support references to previous versions, so you need to remove the old references and add new ones.

    To upgrade your references

    1. In Visual Studio, open an existing ActiveReports project.
    2. In the Project Explorer, expand the References node, and remove the old references.
      Here are the ActiveReports version numbers by product name.
      Product Name Assembly Version
      ActiveReports 1 3.x.x.xxxx
      ActiveReports 2 4.x.x.xxxx
      ActiveReports 3 5.x.x.xxxx
      ActiveReports 6 6.x.x.xxxx
      ActiveReports 7 7.x.x.xxxx
      ActiveReports 8 8.x.x.xxxx
      ActiveReports 9 9.x.x.xxxx
      ActiveReports 10 10.x.x.xxxx
      ActiveReports 11 11.x.x.xxxx
      ActiveReports 12 12.x.x.xxxx
      ActiveReports 13 13.x.x.xxxx
      ActiveReports 14 14.x.x.xxxx
    3. Add references to ActiveReports 14. In the Solution Explorer, right-click the References node and select Manage NuGet Packages.

    4. In the Package source on top right, select nuget.org.

    5. Click Browse tab on top left and search for the packages corresponding to the removed assemblies in Step 2.

    6. On the right panel, click Install.

    7. In the License Acceptance dialog, select I Accept to proceed the installation.

      Please see Installed Files for details on the list of assemblies required in ActiveReports 14.
