Iron Speed Designer Version 5.1 System Requirements

.NET Framework 1.1 application generation discontinued. Version 5.1 will not generate .NET Framework 1.1 applications. However, the Migration Wizard will convert your .NET 1.1 application to .NET Framework 2.0.

Upgrading to Iron Speed Designer Version 5.1

Applications created with earlier versions of Iron Speed Designer will be converted automatically to Version 5.1 with these caveats:
  • Iron Speed Designer's Migration Wizard will migrate many of your code customizations. However, code customizations written for Versions 1.X, 2.X and 3.X require manual migration.
  • The Version 5.1 code customization model is the same as Version 4.0 and later. No code customization changes are required for applications built in Versions 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 5.0.

Please see Application Migration for instructions on how to migrate applications created with earlier versions of Iron Speed Designer.
