Good day,
I was wondering what the best route would be to upgrade a project from 2.3 to 3.0.
I know CCS does it pretty well, but I wish to dump the current themes alltogether and switch over to the new styles.
My project is rather large and rebuildig each page from scratch would be a total nightmare, not to mention almost 2 weeks solid work, if not more.
Is it possible that Yes may develop a small app that will upgrade a persons project from Themes to Styles? Much like the change Theme to Theme option when you right click on the main project item in the IDE.

Terry,
You can't move Themes to Styles - I posted a support question to CCS and Helen said that they are different technologies.
You can have Themes and Styles in the same project under CCS3.
It sucks but I can understand CCS's point of view.
Me, I am sticking with Themes until I convert to ASP.Net then I am rewriting anyway as I want to leverage ASP.Net's power and not be encumbered by converting old code.

Agree with Edd. Base on my experience, the best way is to rewrite the whole program, instead of converting it. It's much more "fun" to play with styles than themes.

I have been migrating page by page.
Some of the tricks that I have been using are to
include both the old theme and the new style sheet
under the page properties/ Style Sheets.
In the body tag- I remove all traces of the old theme.
For migrating records/grids - I create a new grid
and cut/paste the fields from the old non-style grid.
When a page is done- then I delete the old theme
based grid.
The big thing to watch out for with this approach is that
custom event code is not saved on cut/paste. To get around
this- I save all custom code while editing and add it back to
the new grid.
It would be nice if there was an easier way- but this is the
fastest way that I have found so far..
