Currently, Syncfusion provides Visual Studio Extension as Syncfusion Web Conversion and Migration to upgrade/downgrade the Syncfusion release versions in web applications. Please refer to the following user guide links to know more about Syncfusion Project Migration Visual Studio Extension:
In some specific projects (like 3rd party project templates, different web.config structure, modified project structure), migration process may fail by Project Migration extension. So, please follow the given steps to upgrade/downgrade Syncfusion version in Syncfusion Web applications manually:
1.Update Syncfusion Assemblies
For ASP.NET/ASP.NET MVC Platform
From your Syncfusion Web application, get the referred Syncfusion assemblies list, and remove the existing Syncfusion references. Then, add the corresponding Syncfusion assemblies with the required Syncfusion version. You can get the required Syncfusion assemblies from the following Syncfusion Essential Studio setup installed location:
Location: {Drive}\Program Files (x86) \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\{Build Version}\Assemblies (or) {Drive}\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\{Build Version}\precompiledassemblies\{Build Version}
For E.g: C:\Program Files (x86) \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\15.3.0.29\Assemblies (or) C:\Program Files (x86) \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\15.3.0.29\precompiledassemblies\15.3.0.29
For ASP.NET Core Platform
The ASP.NET Core platform projects have direct NuGet references, by default. So, you can update the Syncfusion related NuGet references by following the steps mentioned in the link: https://help.syncfusion.com/aspnet-core/installation#updating-a-nuget-package
Corresponding version Syncfusion ASP.NET Core NuGet packages are shipped in the Syncfusion Essential Studio setup installed location. You can get and update the required NuGet packages from the following location:
Location: {Drive}\Program Files (x86) \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\{Build Version}\ NuGetPackages
For E.g: {Drive}\Program Files (x86) \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\15.3.0.29\NuGetPackages
2. Update Syncfusion JavaScript Assets
You can get and update the required Syncfusion Scripts and CSS files in your application in the following ways.
Syncfusion setup installed location
You can get the required Syncfusion Scripts and CSS files in your application from the following Syncfusion setup installed location. Once you navigate to this location, you can get the corresponding version scripts and CSS, and replace it in your required project location:
Location: {Drive}\Program Files (x86) \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\{Build Version}\JavaScript\assets
For E.g: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\15.3.0.29\JavaScript\assets
No need to make any master/view file reference changes for Syncfusion Scripts and CSS files references path, if you have updated the modified Script/CSS in the same location of existing Syncfusion assets in your application.
Syncfusion CDN Updates
