Vinod,

I'm using VMP Level II and I would not recommend trying to use it on old projects. Follow the guidelines and built a new app from scratch. Later on, when you are more familiar with the framework , you can add functionalities you are missing, by subclassing where needed and adding your own properties and methods.

Start by creating a set of subclasses even if you don't change anything now. This will allow you to upgrade easily when new versions come out (one is due soon). The documentation of Level II version contains extensive explanations on the do's and don't of subclassing.
