Question

We have project on Umbraco 4 (web forms). And now we want to use Umbraco 5. Is there a way to migrate site from v4 to v5 ( and replace asp.net projects with user controls to mvc3 projects with partial razor views or something like this) In solution i have many Class libraries and asp.net projects with user controls and web services.

Thanks

Umbraco has specifically stated there is no upgrade path from v4 to v5. They basically say if you want to go to v5, it should be time to do a rewrite on your application anyways.

See this article for more information:

A frequent topic we meet as we approach the release of Umbraco 5 is
“how can I upgrade to Umbraco 5 [from Umbraco 4]”. The answer is
simple – you can’t. But what’s even more interesting is – you wouldn’t
even if you could. What you worry about is irrelevant – it’s what I
call “The Upgrade Myth”.
