2 mins read

Using Syncfusion Essential Studio multiple version on a single machine

When the syncfusion essential studio is installed the assemblies will get placed in the GAC and in the public assemblies folder (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSEnv\PublicAssemblies\). The precompiled assemblies folder(C:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\{Version Number}\precompiledassemblies\{Version number}\) is the location where the original copy of the Syncfusion assemblies shipped with the Essential Studio are located. The assemblies in the folder will be used during the particular version installation or when a user is reverting back from another version to this version.

Switch between two different version:

Be sure that you have installed required version of Essential Studio in your machine. Say you have installed two ES in your machine, let it be xxxx and yyyy.

Version xxxx from version yyyy:

1. Open the Assembly Manager utility xxxx from the following location.

Start -> All programs -> Syncfusion -> Essential Studio xxxx - > Dashboard -> Assembly Manager

2. In the Action group box, select remove all versions and then click perform action. This will remove all the versions of Syncfusion assemblies installed in GAC and public assemblies folder.

3. Then, in the action group box, select install version xxxx and then click perform action. This will install the Syncfusion assemblies of version xxxx in the public assemblies folder and GAC.

4. Your machine is now set to the version xxxx. Now you can develop the application using this version of Syncfusion assemblies.

Version yyyy from version xxxx:

1. Open the Assembly Manager utility yyyy from the following location.

Start -> All programs -> Syncfusion -> Essential Studio yyyy - > Dashboard -> Assembly Manager

2. In the Action group box, select remove all versions and then click perform action. This will remove all the versions of Syncfusion assemblies installed in GAC and public assemblies folder.

3. Then, in the action group box, select install version xxxx and then click perform action. This will install the Syncfusion assemblies of version xxxx in the public assemblies folder and GAC.

4. Your machine is now set to the version yyyy. Now you can develop the application using this version of Syncfusion assemblies.

If you face any designer issues in running the existing application, please follow the below points:

For Windows applications:

1) Use the converter resx(framework 2.0) utility from Start --> All Programs --> Syncfusion --> Essential Studio {Version number} --> Utilities --> migration -> to convert the resx file to new version {Version number}eg.6.402.0.15 2) Use the converter resx(framework 3.5) utility from Start --> All Programs --> Syncfusion --> Essential Studio {Version number} --> Utilities --> migration -> to convert the resx file to new version {Version number}eg.6.403.0.15

For Web applications:

1. In the .aspx file, you need to register the Syncfusion assemblies used in the web page. This will be added automatically incase if you are dragging and dropping the components from the VS Toolbox in the design page. For already existing projects, please update the version number properly in the existing Register tags. [aspx]
