Will it run on .NET 1.1?

[Cat]

Let's say I've compiled an application with .NET SDK 2.0 beta 2. If I
didn't use any 2.0 feature, will the output exe run on .NET 1.1? That
is, the source code is originally written for .NET 1.1.

Another related question. If I build an application with the Visual
Studio 2005 RTM, will the output exe run on .NET Framework
redistributable 2.0 beta 2?

This is searching for trouble, although in theory it could be possible I
think.
Just wait a few weeks and .NET 2.0 should be available for download since VS
2005 comes out.

By the time you figure out what methods and classes does work, in v1.1, you
already have the v2.0

No

Can you tell me what the Visual Studio 2005 RTM is, I miss probably
something.

Sorry. It was RC not RTM.

Cat,

You are not allowed to distribute programs made with the VS 2005 RC.

There is only a Go Live license for the VS2005 Beta2

No, but you can copy the code files into a 1.1 project and recompile for 1.1,
as long as you truly did not use any 2.0 features. If you do not have VS.NET
2003 installed, you can use the 1.1 command line compiler (csc.exe or
vbc.exe, depending on language (apologies to C++ and J# users)).
