Can i upgrade to the latest version 18.1 without changing code?
I recently updated my entire solution (80+ projects) from IG 12.2 to 16.2. As Jackdaw mentioned there is a version upgrade utility. Within VS I was able to right-click on each project and run the upgrade from there. I had no issues whatsoever. Unfortunately IG 16.2 is the most recent version approved by my security folks, but I can't imagine going from 11.1 to 18.1 would be any different.
You wouldn't be able to do so, without any code changes, because those controls were retired in the very next version Infragistics ASP.NET 2011 vol2.
Changes after version ASP.NET 2011 vol.2
There are several sources you could use to make the upgrade easier for you:
Product Changes fully described for 2011 vol.2
New controls starting from ASP.NET 2011 Vol.2
And a helpful document describing some of the changes that you could easily perform when migrating from the old control to a new one in the following cheat sheet.

I am planning to migrate site core 6.5 to site core 8.1. So here i am using below dlls sample
Sitecore.nexus
Sitecore.NVelocity
Sitecore.Analytics
Sitecore.Marketing.Wildcards and etc.
While i am doing POC i got understand Sitecore.Marketing.Wildcards is changed because of vast changes in Rules Engine.I figured out by compile time errors in my code after code has setup with sitecore 8.1. So i planned for another work around.
My question is how can I find a way to discover deprecated or changed functions from one version to another version of site core migrations? I'm trying to fgire this out before I dive into development.
The best way is to go through the release notes and find what is changed.
https://dev.sitecore.net/Downloads/Sitecore%20Experience%20Platform/Sitecore%2081/Sitecore%20Experience%20Platform%2081%20Initial%20Release/Release%20Notes
For example, on the release notes for Sitecore 8.1 on above link, you will find certain deprecated features, functionality, framework like SPEAK 1.1 framework etc. So with every release, some features or components may get deprecated and you need to fix the code break due to this.
Facing design issues in my application, I have installed Infragistics NetAdvantage 2006 Vol 1 and Intersoft Webcombo.NET 3.0 SP3 Build 18 in my system, if I run the application getting design issues.
Example: I couldn't navigate into the tab.Currently I am using.NET 3.5 framework. Do I need to install any other later versions?
I assume the reason that you are having issues at design time is because there is an exception thrown in the designer for one of the controls though it would be best if you expanded on your question to include more details if this isn't the case.
For your specific question, do you want to install any later versions, that is up to you.
For resolving the design time issue, if it is caused by the Infragistics controls make sure that you have the exact version installed that you are using in the project so that the design assemblies are in your GAC. It is important that you have the correct service release installed. Also there are known issues using the .NET 1.x controls in .NET 2.0 or later at design time so you will want to make sure you are using the .NET 2.0 controls unless you are using Visual Studio 2003.
Please note that NetAdvantage 2006 Volume 1 has been retired since the spring of 2009 and wasn't tested with any version of Visual Studio later than 2005. The WebCombo was also retired in 2011 and was only ever supported in IE and Firefox when it was supporter. This control isn't expected to work in any modern browser and you should upgrade your application.
Earlier we were using Lucene version 2.3.1.3(Sitecore version 6.5) everything working fine but now we have upgraded to sitecore version 7.0(Initial release) and now we are using Lucene version 3.0.3.0 dll in project.
But now we are not able to compile project because of errors in code file.
Does that means Lucene version 3.0.3.0 dll doesn't support code written in Lucene version 2.3.1.3(Sitecore version 6.5)
Thanks
Upgrading from Sitecore 6.x to 7.0 needs some adjustments in code to get everything work again.
Which error do you get? I also had a specific error regarding lucene dll when compiling after the upgrade but this error was only caused by a wrong assembly redirect in the web.config.
In fact, the search API changed completely and if you made an upgrade to 7.0 it is recommended to update your search logic to the possibilities are now available in 7.0 like LINQ support and so on. Search is much more comfortable now in sitecore 7 and it is really worth taking a closer look at the changes. They took a lot of the advanced database crawler module like dynamic fields (they are now called computed fields) and much more and added it to the sitecore 7 standard search api.
I am pretty new to Sitecore SPEAK and i am looking for some of the basics to start with. Basics like even which version of Sitecore Supports SPEAK. I see that many places they mention that it is supported in 7.0 and few places say 7.1 version. I have a Sitecore 7.0 Version and when i open the Core database, i would like to know if i need to install any particular module as i dont see anything related to SPEAK.
This link is the sitecore's Official blog where they speak about it. But fail to mention the requirements.
Sitecore SPEAK Blog- Introduction
Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated
According to the release notes, the SPEAK UI framework was introduced in Sitecore 7.1. At least you need this version and the Sitecore Rocks Visual Studio plugin, as building SPEAK applications are not very handy to build within the Content Editor.
Here you find a summary of SPEAK documentations.
I would personally recommend to start with the blog post series from Martina Welander.
I recommend using the later versions of Sitecore 7.1 or preferably Sitecore 7.2. A lot of bugs have been fixed since the initial release of SPEAK.
I have two open source SPEAK applications, if you want to see examples of SPEAK applications are built.

I have also created Visual Studio 2013 Templates for creating blank Visual Studio Projects for SPEAK.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all versions of Infragistics NetAdvantage released to date? I am looking specifically for versions providing the control IGUltraGrid20.ocx.
This PDF from the Infragistics site could be your answer.
http://download.infragistics.com/download/pubs/ProductLifeCycle.pdf
The latest version of the control was 2.01.60 released with the UltraSuite 3.02 dated March-2006.
It is officially retired and no more supported.
From the same document, the IGUltraGrid20.ocx version 2.01.25 was included in the NetAdvantage suite till the version 2005 v.2 and disappeared in next release 2005 v.3
