Steps to Migrate from 1.0 to 1.1

[Ganesha]

We have our production code running on 1.0,

We want to move to 1.1.

are there any specific steps to do so,

or should we just open the old project in VS 2003 and when it propmts
to convert the code, convert it.

Is this the right way to migrate the code?

how should we go about testing the process.

please elaborate anyone

I'd suggest taking a copy of the project and converting that as a test.
Although you *should* not encounter any major difficulties, the conversion
will reveal any glitches.

There are a couple of breaking changes/items that moved in namespace. It
will likely take 1 day of scrubbing to run through the error list. If you
are just using mainstream functions, you shouldn't have problems. I agree
with the pvdg42 recommending making a back-up before upgrading the project.
Once you have a backup, try to upgrade and see what falls out.

The 1.0-1.1 migration is relatively painless. There is a bit more work when
migrating up to 2.0, but nothing like moving from VB6-.Net 1.0.
