  I have a VB application I wrote in 2010 and it was loaded on Windows XP machines. The company has upgraded to Windows 10 and the App will no longer install. I was going to completely rewrite the application, but I need to get the current app to run if possible.

  I am currently working in Visual Studio 2017 and latest version of ComponentOne WinForms. When I load the previous project and try to build it, it has errors such as can’t find C1Data and the C1DataLibrary that was used. There may be issues with the C1 Reports too.

  Just wanted to see if someone has had to do this and might have some suggestions to get this up and running for the client while I rewrite in app C#…

  Any thoughts would be appreciated…

  Thanks…

  Hi Dave!

  In the latest version of ComponentOne WinForms, please use Entity Framework and FlexReport in place of C1DataObjects and C1Report respectively.

  Moreover, you can see the detailed information here:

  Here are the documentation links for:

  1. Entity Framework (https://help.grapecity.com/componentone/NetHelp/EFDataSource/webframe.html#ComponentOne_Entity_Framework_DataSource_Overview.html)
  2. FlexReport (https://help.grapecity.com/componentone/NetHelp/FlexReport/webframe.html)
