Hi Srinivas,

 

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

 

While upgrading application from MVC3 to MVC4 , below steps has to be followed.

 

1.  Refer MVC4 assemblies in application reference. These assemblies will be available in the below location

 

$System drive\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\11.2.0.25\precompiledassemblies\11.2.0.25\4.0\MVC4

 

Note: In our latest version (v11.2.0.25) we have given support for .Net framework 4.5 and therefore the dlls for VS2012 will be available in 11.2.0.25\precompiledassemblies\11.2.0.25\4.5\MVC4 folder.

 

      2.  Change the assembly version numbers in web.config file. The MVC assembly version numbers will be varying based on MVC versions.

 

<code>

[Web.Config]

      <assemblies>

       

        <add assembly="Syncfusion.Core, Version=11.2040.0.25, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=632609B4D040F6B4" />

        <add assembly="Syncfusion.Linq.Base, Version=11.2040.0.25, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89" />

        <add assembly="Syncfusion.Theme.Base, Version=11.2040.0.25, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89" />

        // MVC assemblies

        <add assembly="Syncfusion.Shared.Mvc, Version=11.2445.0.25, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89" />

        <add assembly="Syncfusion.Schedule.Mvc, Version=11.2440.0.25, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3d67ed1f87d44c89" />

 

      </assemblies>

 

</code>

 

Note: Kindly make the version number changes in all places in web.config  (<assemblies>, <handlers>, <httpHandlers>)

Please refer below table for more details.

.Net Framework	MVC version	Syncfusion MVC assembly version
4.0	MVC3 MVC4	11.2340.0.25 11.2440.0.25
4.5	MVC3 MVC4	11.2345.0.25 11.2445.0.25

Note: 1) Highlighted with Green: MVC version, Highlighted with Yellow: .Net framework

          2) Provided version details are applicable for our latest version. Kindly make the changes based on your Essential Studio version

Kindly follow the above steps and let us know if you have any other concerns.
