.NET ...... .NET 2003 ????

[Andy]

ok

small problem, after reorganising the office I threw out
all our old MSDN CD's and started afresh with the new
shipment. After installing InstallShield at the weekend I
have all sorts of ASP.NET errors, hence I thought, I know
I'll re-install.

I removed the old version of .NET and came to
install .NET again this morning and I have NO version
of .NET on the new CD's??? I have VS6 and .NET 2003!

So before I carry out the 1.8 gb download of .NET are
there any compatibility issues between 2003 and .NET??
Can I write code in 2003 and then someone else compile it
on a older .NET system??

I'd like to move to 2003 anyway and this could be my
opportunity, any thoughts??

Thanks in advance

Andy

You will not be able to open the solution or project files in the older
version, but I think there are utilities around that can convert them back.

As long as you don't use features and code constructs that are specific to
2003, then the code files should be compatible.

Hi,

I strongly recommend you the following article:

Versioning, Compatibility, and Side-by-Side Execution in the .NET Framework
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframewo...omparison/defa

Hope this helps.

Understood. But since the 2003 IDE targets the framework v 1.1 ,and the
2002 IDE targets 1.0 only, my statement is valid (if not 100% accurate).

Cheers,
