Errors compiling after Episerver 8 update
Hi Dan,
you've hit some breaking changes. You don't need to change references, but you do need to change your code.
1. As the erorr says you need to modify the way you get categories.
2. Hard to say without seeing the code, but first of all you might want to use ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IContentLoader>().Get<Contenttype>(...) instead of DataFactory.
3-6. LanguageSelector is now replaced with CultureInfo, so that needs to be changed where you use it.

Thanks for the reply!
I'm using the Alloy test-site I got when installing Episerver 7.5
Do I have to modify the Alloy site or is there any way I can get a new Alloy site for Episerver 8?

If you use the latest version of the EPiServer CMS Visual Studio extension to create a new site with the Alloy templates they will be 8.0+ compatible.

I just updated from Episerver 7.5 to 8 using NuGet package manager in Visual Studio 2012.
Properties for my visual studio project is set to .NET Framework 4.5
When I'm compiling my test site I get following errors. Do I have to change anything manually in the References folder?
