  • Uninstall NetAdvantage for LightSwitch 11.1
  • Install NetAdvantage for LightSwitch 11.2

2. Upgrade to release 11.2 the  existing LightSwitch projects with NetAdvantage for LightSwitch 11.1

  • Create a new “dummy” LightSwitch project where to include new Infragistics LightSwitch  Extensions from  11.2 Release.
  • Upgrade ExtensionEsseblies section in all Config.xml files in “ClienGenerated” project from existing LightSwitch solution with the same section from the new “dummy” project.

Add to this project Infragistics LightSwitch Extensions (Visual Studio LightSwitch will use the latest (Release 11.2) extensions).

 

Open the LightSwitch solution folder with Windows Explorer and open “ClientGenerated” project

 

  • Upgrade ExtensionEsseblies section in all Config.xml files in “ClienGenerated” project from existing LightSwitch solution with the same section from the new “dummy” project.

Open Config.xml files in “ClientGenerated” and “ClientGenerated\Bin\Debug” folders.

 

 

Change the content of  “ExtensionAssemblies” section in these files with the content of the same section from Config.xml file from a “dummy” LightSwitch project.
