Project updater

## Updating Projects

The Carbide.c++ File Updater window appears when you open older Carbide.c++ projects that require updating. This most often occurs when new features are added to the project file format. The example in figure 1 shows the Carbide.c++ File Updater window with a v1.1 project that needs updating. In this case the updater updates the template projects from Carbide.c++ 1.1 to the latest template version. Projects that are already up-to-date are not affected by the updater process. New projects automatically use the most current project format.

If your projects have up-to-date bld.inf and MMP files, it is recommended that you delete the existing Carbide.c++ projects and simply re-import them from the bld.inf file. This ensures that the project file format is up-to-date.

You can also select projects in the Project Explorer or Symbian Project Navigator views and choose Project > Update Projects command to display the Carbide.c++ File Updater window.

### UI Designer Projects

If you are opening older projects that include UI Designer components, an error message will appear similar to the one shown in figure 2. Click OK to open the Carbide.c++ Files Updater window shown in figure 3.
