From Microarray to RNASeq

Hello, I'm looking for a way to map the probesets from HGU133plus 2.0 platform to the corresponding gene symbols or LocusLinks (that is the annotation used in TCGA). Which is the correct way to do the mapping?

Thanks

What about using biomaRt? Something like this, change as appropriate:

library(biomaRt)
mart<- useMart(biomart = "ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL", host = "dec2015.archive.ensembl.org", dataset= 'hsapiens_gene_ensembl')

listAttributes(mart) ## Choose from these
affy<- getBM(attributes= c('affy_hg_u133_plus_2', 'ensembl_gene_id', 'external_gene_name'), mart= mart)

affy[affy$affy_hg_u133_plus_2 != '',][1:10,]
   affy_hg_u133_plus_2 ensembl_gene_id external_gene_name

Thanks for the reply. I have already tried biomart but I wasn't completely satisfied with the results that I obtained. Ad examples it mapped the probeset 204960_at to CORO1B and PTPRCAP. While using the probeset sequence in Blast, the only result is PTPRCAP. So I'm looking for a more reliable solution.
