We just released version X14 of TX Text Control .NET Server for ASP.NET. Existing projects using the web control TXTextControl.Web can be easily updated.

ASP.NET Web Forms (AJAX)

In order to update an ASP.NET Web Forms project from TX Text Control X13 to X14, the following steps are required:

  • In the Solution Explorer, find the reference TXTextControl.Web, select it and remove it by clicking Remove from the Edit main menu.

    Updating your TXTextControl.Web ASP.NET project from version X13 to X14 (24.0)

  • Choose Add Reference... from the Project main menu. In the opened dialog, search for TXTextControl.ASP.NET, check version 24.0.400.500 and confirm with OK.

  • Find the web.config file in the Solution Explorer and open it. In the node configuration -> system.web -> compilation -> assemblies, find the entry for the assembly TXTextControl.Web. Change the version number from 23.0.400.500 to 24.0.400.500.

  • In the node configuration -> system.webServer -> handlers, find the handler entry for TXWebSocketHandler and change the version number from 23.0.300.500 to 24.0.400.500. Repeat the same for the handler TXPrintHandler.

  • Now, open the ASPX page that uses the TXTextControl.Web control and find the following Register script:

    <%@ Register assembly="TXTextControl.Web,
    Version=23.0.300.500,
    Culture=neutral,
    PublicKeyToken=6b83fe9a75cfb638"
    namespace="TXTextControl.Web" tagprefix="cc1" %>

    Replace the version number from 24.0.400.500 to 24.0.400.500. Repeat this step for all ASPX pages that use TXTextControl.Web.

ASP.NET MVC

In order to update an ASP.NET MVC project from TX Text Control X13 to X14, the following steps are required:

  • Select Manage NuGet Packages... from the Project main menu to open the NuGet Package Manager. Find TXTextControl.Web in the installed packages and update to the latest stable version.

    Manage NuGet Packages

If the new NuGet package has been installed successfully, your project is already updated.

Updating ServerTextControl and DocumentServer

If your project uses the class ServerTextControl and the DocumentServer classes (MailMerge), you will need to update these references as well.

  • In the Solution Explorer, find the references TXDocumentServer, TXTextControl and TXTextControl.Server, select them and remove them by choosing Remove from the Edit main menu.

    Updating ServerTextControl and DocumentServer

  • Select your project in the Solution Explorer and choose Add Reference... from the Project main menu. In the opened Reference Manager, browse for most current versions of the TXTextControl.dll, TXTextControl.Server.dll and the TXDocumentServer.dll. Check these references and confirm with OK.

  • Find the licenses.licx file in your project and update the version numbers to the most current version numbers. You can also remove the version number completely, so that the license compiler uses the license of the referenced versions:

    TXTextControl.ServerTextControl, TXTextControl.Server, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6b83fe9a75cfb638
