Upgrade Aspose.Grid.Web to Aspose.Cells.GridWeb

To make it easier to upgrade, we maintain a document describing information critical to existing users, especially those who have used the older Aspose.Grid.Web and need to upgrade to Aspose.Cells.GridWeb.

These are intended to be brief notes, and you should be able to find more information by looking at the sections of the Developer Guide.

Upgrading to Aspose.Cells.GridWeb

Aspose.Grid.Web users might come across issues using the new Aspose.Cells.GridWeb when they upgrade to it. It is to be noted that Aspose.Grid.Web has been renamed and has become a part of Aspose.Cells, so we will not continue to support or make amendments to older versions of the control.

It is not hard to upgrade to the latest Aspose.Cells.GridWeb component.

There are a few changes in the API since the classes, members, structs, enumerations, etc., remain the same. Most of the changes have been made to the control’s namespaces and other tags or attributes.

The following is the namespaces list and other attributes/tags that are changed now:

1. The Aspose.Grid.Web namespace has been renamed to Aspose.Cells.GridWeb.
2. The Aspose.Grid.Web.Data namespace has been renamed to Aspose.Cells.GridWeb.Data.
3. The Aspose.Grid.Web.Design namespace has been renamed to Aspose.Cells.GridWeb.Design.
4. The Aspose.Grid.Formula namespace was renamed to Aspose.Cells.GridFormula, and with recent releases of the component, the said namespace was completely removed from the public API.
5. The tag agw:GridWeb has changed to acw:GridWeb in the ASPX form.
6. The older Aspose.Grid.Web client path, agw_client, has changed to acw_client for Aspose.Cells.GridWeb.
7. The client path setting in the web.config file, for example:

<appSettings> 
    <add key="aspose.grid.web.agw_client_path" value="/agw_client/" />
    <add key="aspose.grid.web.force_script_path" value="true" />
</appSettings>

has changed to

<appSettings>
    <add key="aspose.cells.gridweb.acw_client_path" value="/acw_client/" />
    <add key="aspose.cells.gridweb.force_script_path" value="true" />
</appSettings>
