If you have any dynamic content controls that has properties where you select an image or document those properties wont be handeld by the VPP migration tool, you need to handle those links and map them to the coresponding ImageData.

Changes in API
If the site uses the Virtual Path Provider API, then you need to change your code as well, since most sites do not use this API including the Alloy sample site in EPiServer 7. The old API will work without throwing any exceptions, but will not return any files after you migrated. The old API was accessed using the ASP.NET API HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider. Examples of using content-based files are available in the Developer Guide under the Content section in the CMS SDK.

The site we are upgrading is using HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider. The guide says "you need to change your code as well" and referes to "Examples of using content-based files are available in the Developer Guide under the Content section in the CMS SDK". Where exactly is the code examples for the changes that has to be made? Icannot find the relevant section in the Developers Guide.
