Hi, I have upgraded my MVC3 project using the release notes (http://www.asp.net/whitepapers/mvc4-release-notes). Looks ok so far. The only thing missing there is to mention that you also need
to update the Deployable Dependencies (the _bin_deployableAssemblies folder). Works ok when you right click on your project and choose Add Deployable Dependencies. (Remember to use also the second checkbox when you use Razor).
I wanted to point out that the paragraph in the release notes about upgrading your project is missing a note that you should update your Deployable Dependencies also.
So I hope to trigger somebody to update that white paper.
Please update the whitepaper for _bin_deployableAssemblies. I just spent half a day banging my head against the wall with this one since I was upgrading an old project (I forgot about that magical folder!).
My old project was overwritting the MVC4 dlls with the MVC3 dlls every time even though I had copy local set to true on the new MVC4 dlls.
Hopefully this will help avoid others making hte same mistake!

Seems you did not read my message. I DID use this whitepaper. I only wanted to point to an omission
