SUMMARY

After you install a newer version of smartDBforms.NET your existing web sites continue to use their own version. This is also the case when you install a licensed version after you have created web sites using the trial version.

In order to use the newer or licensed version of smartDBforms.NET in your existing web sites you need to update the specific smartDBforms.NET items in you web sites.

MORE INFORMATION

The default installation folder for smartDBforms.NET is "Program Files\Adillis\smartDBforms.NET <version>\".
In order to update your existing websites to use a newer version of smartDBforms.NET you need to do the following:

1. Close Visual Studio

If you have the website opened in Visual Studio, close Visual Studio.

2. Update Adillis.SmartDBForms.dll

1. Replace the <Website Root>\Bin\Adillis.SmartDBForms.dll with <smartDBforms.NET InstallFolder>\DeveloperBinaries\Adillis.SmartDBForms.dll.
2. If there is a <Website Root>\Bin\Adillis.SmartDBForms.dll.refresh file in your Bin folder then you should delete it, because it points to the old .dll file and later Visual Studio could revert back to this old .dll file.

3. Update smartDBtemplates folder

If you are updating from trial to licensed versions for the same version number then you do not need to update the smartDBtemplates folder because it is the same in trial and licensed versions with the same version number.

The smartDBtemplates template should be updated in order to apply new changed from the newer version. If you have made any changes in the website's smartDBtemplates folder you have to backup it and apply the changes to the new version.

1. Rename the <Website Root>\smartDBtemplates folder to smartDBtemplates_backup
2. Copy <smartDBforms.NET InstallFolder>\smartDBtemplates folder to <Website Root>\.
3. Apply your previous changes to the new <Website Root>\smartDBtemplates folder.
