Upgrade procedure

What happens when its time to upgrade to the newer version? It appears that the version number gets stored in the webconfig file and the controls are specific to the version. So when a new version is installed it looks like I have to delete the controls from the pages and rebuild the site using the new controls. Is this correct? This comes about because I purchased a new development PC and installed the new download, but now my pages won't work. And I can't seem to download the old version (1.23.)

As an aside, it would be helpful to include the version number in the filename of the downloaded file. That way a new download would not overwrite the previous one and I could go back to the older version if necessary (something I cannot do now since the old download has been overwritten). It would also be helpful if the website offered the opportunity to download the older versions.

Thanks

    When I put WebReport on a webform, it does not create entries in Web.Config file. The version number is not stored anywhere except .csproj file (under "References" section).

    Sorry but our websystem does not allow to store the version number in the file name.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
