Upgrading from Framework 1.0 to 1.1 - is it easy?

[Bastian]

Hi,

I am still coding everything in the 1.0 framework. I really want to upgrade
to 1.1 but I've been too afraid to do this :)

- I am afraid that all my 1.0 coded applications will stop running when
compiled. Is this true? Do I have to recompile every application for it to
work again? Or can you manually set an application to run in 1.0 framework?
(I've been searching for this on the web but doesn't seem to be possible).
- I am afraid that if I'd need to fix a bug in an 1.0 coded project and I
switched to 1.1, there will be a LOT of errors in the code (namespaces
changed, methods renamed, whatever). Is this true? How much work is it?
- Is it actually worth upgrading? What are the real benefits from 1.1 over
1.0? Or should I wait for 2.0 (whenever that is released :)

I hope someone can clear this up. Thank you!

No - the differences between 1.0 and 1.1 are not that much (but you should
check out the breaking changes document though).
