  • In Visual studio, click DevExpress -> Project Converter -> Project Converter v15.2

access DevExpress project converter in VS

  • This will open up the project converter window

DevExpress project converter window

  • There is no special need for fidgeting with the Advanced Settings
  • Click Upgrade
  • The Project converter tool might ask for confirmation about updating the read-only files
  • Click Yes to All, to make sure that the tool doesn't disturb you for every next file

confirmation for upgrading all files

  • To save the conversion log, click Save Log (optional)

saving the conversion log

  • Click Finish

Visual Studio might get confused with some elements:

'XYZ' is an ambiguous reference between 'namespace ABC' and 'namespace DEF'

A few examples are:

  • Replace SelectedItemCollection with DevExpress.Web.SelectedItemCollection

Replace SelectedItemCollection with DevExpress.Web.SelectedItemCollection

  • Replace Collection with System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection

Replace Collection with System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection

Use the Project Converter tool for this purpose.

See the Upgrade Notes topic for details.

Generally you just install the new version, then open the solution in the newer version, that's how Visual Studio, etc. works. They should run in parallel and make backups, so trying won't be of any harm.
