Hi, i want my asp.net web application umbraco to use latest version instead of 8 i remember using terminal or i dont know i forgot to change the version , Thanks 🙂

I think you can edit your project file to reference a newer version of Umbraco ?
Alot has changed though in Umbraco from v8 to v12
s
You have to migrate your code and content into a new installation of Umbraco 12. There is a guide in the docs somewhere.

lol, ia sked to update the template version , when i create a new project from vs 2022 (asp.net) and i install umbracoCms package (Install-Package UmbracoCms) and run the project it loads versio 8 umbraco instead of 12.
i have not mentioned to migrate my code , i only asked for updating. its something done using terminal or i dont remember
s
you can't upgrade Umbraco 8 to 9+. You can only migrate.
b
i just want to update the umbraco cms version
s
you can upgrade to the latest v8, which is 8.18 or so. But not any further than that
b
hmm , i think im not being able to explain 🙂
the lates is 12?
s
Yes, the latest major version of Umbraco is 12. But it's incompatible with the .net framework, that Umbraco 8 is built on. Which is why you can only migrate from Umbraco 8 to one of the later majors.

ohhhh , thanks sir

The link posted by Sebastiaan describes how you can migrate. It's kind of the same process as 7 to 8 was, although you'll probably need do some more code changing.

hmm , heres the thing , I created a new project just now (ASP.NET WEB Application (Framework) and i installed umrbacoCms package and ran it loads up 8.18 instead of 12 so im not asking to migrate , if i need to make the update in somewhere id.
