Measurement Studio Backward Compatibility

Updated Jun 6, 2025

Issue Details

I am trying to update my old Measurement Studio to 2019 version and want to know if it will support my old code. 

Solution

The support will depend on the version of Measurement Studio in which the older code was developed. Measurement Studio 2019 introduces .NET support for Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2017, and Visual Studio 2019, including a complete set of .NET class libraries, example projects, and tools that integrate into Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2017, and Visual Studio 2019. To use these libraries, you can either create new projects in Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2017, or Visual Studio 2019 or use Visual Studio to upgrade your existing projects that use older Measurement Studio libraries. If you are using any version before 2015, probably there must be some changes done in the libraries. 

If you came across certain function are not useable after upgrading to Measurement Studio 2019, the function could be deprecated and need to replace with another similar function. 

 

Additional Information

The support for DataSocket is no longer available in Measurement Studio 2019. In case you are using DataSocket, this would be a major change on your end and have to consider using NetworkVariable instead. Measurement Studio 2019 no longer ships examples that target the .NET Framework 4.0.
