INTRODUCTION

The CustomListView rule in Pre-Upgrade Checker can warn that customized list views will not be upgraded.
Back to the top

MORE INFORMATION

The following will not be upgraded to the new XSLT-based list view:
  • A list view that uses custom Collaborative Application Markup Language (CAML)
  • A list view that is not associated with a feature
  • A list view that is associated with a custom feature
A list view that is not upgraded will still render properly in Windows SharePoint Services 4.0. However, it will not inherit any benefits of the new XSLT-based list view, such as SharePoint Designer customization support, conditional formatting, and improved developer experience with XSLT standard-based language support. Here is a sample of the warning message:
The following list views will not be upgraded:
[ForEachCustomListView]
<CustomListView>[View GUID] – [View URL] ([View DisplayName] )</CustomListView>
Important

We recommend that you manually upgrade all custom list views to the new XSLT-based list views. The new XSLT-based list view is the default view that will be used in the next version release of Windows SharePoint Services. It will replace the existing list view in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.

For more information about this rule, see "Upgrading custom lists views to XSLT list views" in the following Microsoft Web site:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=120257 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=120257)


Note The Pre-Upgrade Checker ships in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2 and is used to assess the server for potential upgrade issues when you are preparing to upgrade to the next version release of Windows SharePoint Services and Office SharePoint Server 2007.
