Technical questions about upgrading

I'm considering upgrading from 3.55 to 4.0 in the very near future, and have a couple of quick questions.

I have several small projects in 3.55, what is involved in updating my code for 4.0? Most of the MySql-specfic code is hidden behind a common db interface, ie:

Code: Select all

public static DbConnection Connection
{
    get { return new MySqlConnection(); }
}
But there are still several places where I'm using MyDirect features. So, just wondering how much of that I'll have to review/re-code.

Second, can I run 3.55 and 4.0 side by side on the same development and user machines? If upgrading is trivial, this might not be an issue, but I may not have time to convert all my projects immediately, so I'd like to keep 3.55 around in case there are any problems.

Thanks,
Michael[/code]

Hello Michael,

The project should work ok.
Just remove the references in the project, close all running IDEs and help collections, then choose Uninstall MyDirect .NET v.3.55.
After that install a new version of the product (v. 4.50.27) and add references to the required libraries.
