Question

User-605499000 posted

I need to change from 2.0 to 4.0. I do not have the wizard conversion and can't seem to get it.  I am trying to get the new token keys for my config files.  I am still using xml 1.0. Do I need to change that and if so how do I do that.  The website was built in 2009  I was given Microsoft sites to convert but they all led to the wizard.  Can I reinstall visual studio 2017 to get the wizard

Here is one config file

I don't think Visual Studio 2017 has an upgrade Wizard.  I know VS 2010 has an upgrade Wizard and perhaps 2012/13.  You might try installing an older Visual Studio version if you need the upgrade wizard.

I would simply change the target framework to 4.0 in the project properties build and see what happens. 

I am trying to get the new token keys for my config files.

What keys?

I don't see anything in the web.config that is a problem.  The web.config looks pretty basic, except it is using the ASP Membership provider.  You'll lose the Membership configuration tool in Visual Studio 2017. I think you have to go back to 2010 for the config tool.

IMHO, do not upgrade unless you need 4.0 features.
