Troubleshooting Upgrade

"Type ??? is not defined" or "??? is not declared"

  1. If the Type that is not defined is Callback, DisplayModes, EventType, HostTypes or ScreenFilter

    1. Add the following Import to the top of the file reporting the exception

      Imports WIRE.Common

Property 'DisplayMode' is 'ReadOnly'

This usually is caused by referencing the DisplayMode property on the HostSession object.  This is a breaking change in between WIRE 3 and 4, and should be changed to "HostSession.DisplayModeMax".
