I've got it all worked out, here's the steps:
1) Install AR3
2) Run the Tools Convert Active Report in my VS2003 Project.
3) Convert all ActiveReport object to ActiveReport3 objects
4) Upgrade all webviews in .aspx files to AR3 web viewers.
5) Confirm that the HTTPHandlers section in the web.config files point to the correct AR3 assemblies
6) Changed All Refrence in VS 2003 to point to AR3.
7) Convert the project to VS 2005
- At this point AR3 worked fine in VS2005
Conversion from AR3 to AR6
1) Backup AR3 project
2) Install AR6 on Computer
3) Choose Tools Convert to ActiveRepor 6 from VS menu
4) Change ActiveReport3 object back to ActiveReport object (if necesary)
5) Confirm all project references are not pointing to AR6
6) Swap all AR3 webviewers in .aspx for AR6 webviewers
7) Update HTTPHandlers in webconfig to point to AR6 assemblies
8) Make sure that no AR3 assemblies are in the <Assemblies> section of the web config. - will cause errors when compiling.
That's it.
The only other gotcha was that my license file was readonly, and the conversion tool couldn't update it. I found the file made it writable and reran the conversion to solve this issue.
