Is there a simple way to refresh all references ?

Question

_{Wednesday, March 5, 2014 6:09 PM}

I was using vb.net 2007 in XP for several projects. Now I moved all my projects to a Windows 7, 64 bit computer, with vb.net 2012. Now for each project, I get many warnings, some say updated wrappers available (if I click Yes, I got more errors) and some say references not found.

I wonder if there is a simple way to refresh all the references, instead of removing all references and add them again?

Hi newBen,

I was using vb.net 2007 in XP for several projects.

Maybe you mean that you use the VS2005 or VS2008. Anyway, if you update the old app with the new VS version, you would check the real error messages/warnings in your side, and then resolve them one by one in your side.

Generally we would remove the references manually. But if you make sure that all references have the version issue, I’m afraid that you would check what the dll files are, if they are the default .NET framework, maybe you would check whether you use the correct Platform target or you didn’t install it in your new VS Environment. But if they are other references like the third party or others, I’m afraid that you would add them manually.

Not the real VB expert, but if you get any VB issue, you could post this issue to the VB forum:

Thanks for the reply.

In this particular project that I am working on, there is no error message but 1 warning: There are updated custom wrappers available for the following referenced components VBIDE.

Double click at the warning would give a pop up question: Do you want to replace the auto-generated wrappers with the custom wrappers?

If I click Yes, it gives more errors.

I check my reference list (Assemblies, COM) and can't find the VBIDE so I don't know how to remove it and add it again.
