Copy a custom section from Umbraco 4 to Umbraco 7
I have a custom section in Umbraco 4, defined in dashboard.config:
```
  <section>
    <areas>
      <area>fbs_admin</area>
    </areas>
    <tab caption="Clean media files">
      <control>/usercontrols/Umbraco/CleanMediaFiles.ascx</control>
    </tab>
    <tab caption="Complex controls">
      <control>/usercontrols/Umbraco/ComplexControls.ascx</control>
    </tab>
  </section>
```
How do I copy this section (along with the 2 .ascx files) into an existing Umbraco 7 project? (I just don't want to rewrite the .ascx files in MVC)

I tried adding the section into dashboard.config but it doesn't show.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is possible at all. Umbraco 7 used HTML and angularjs for its Backend. The only thing you can try is to host your ascx files an an iframe i think.
