.Net 2.0 Migration Strategy

garethdjames

I work for a large organisation where we use .Net 1.1 as our sole
development language.

We have many frameworks and applications and web sites that are
developed in .Net 1.1

These developments are by no means trivial, they are the result of an
IT department of over 300 people and 2 years of development

It is my responsibility to develop a strategy to move to .Net 2.0, this
includes the existing applications, new developments, integration, QA,
live and development environments

Does any one have any experience in this (preferably at this scale) and
can any one recommend any reading material that would help.

Thanks

Gareth

..NET isn't a development language? It is a supporting technology/framework?

Yes I have plenty of experience -- for Windows Forms applications the
migration will be pretty easy and you can choose to resolve the "Warnings"
or not when you migrate -- this is ASSUMING all your applications full under
the "managed" concept and your not using third party stuff. If you have 3rd
party controls under .net 1.1 you'll have to find out if they have a .net
2.0 control or you will need to create wrapper code to use the .net 1.1
control (one reason I no longer use 3rd party anything).

For Web applications, the code behind will be the same issues are Windows
Forms applications, however, converting an ASP.NET 1.1 web site to run
ASP.NET 2.0 web site takes more work and you have different options
available to you. Personally I'd opt for pre-compile command line for
ASP.NET 2.0 unless you have to make regulary dynamic changes daily or
weekly. You will also need to configure IIS to run ASP.NET 2.0 apps in a
separate application pool or else they will conflict with ASP.NET 1.1 web
code.

We've had a customer request to support DB2 database, and I'm looking into the feasibility of migration.

What is node migration ?

by: sac | last post by:

I am using DB2 v8.1 on UNIX. A few weeks ago the DBAs carried out node migration activity on the database. After the node migration I observed that the queries that execute on temporary tables show extreme poor performance. One of the query was partly optimized by declaring a partitioning key on the temporary table. However it still takes longer than before the node migration. I would appreciate if I could get information on the...

Migrating VB6 to VB.NET

I have been researching the best approach to migrating a VB6 application into a VB.NET application. There is a lot of information out there but most of it recommends that you "train in the migration process before jumping into it". One site even recommends that this training process should take at least 2-3 weeks. I'm not sure how you can train for such a process...but maybe I'll find something while I'm researching. I was wondering if anyone...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
