64bit development support in .net 2003? or required to go to 2005

[rdh]

We are looking at upgrading our current production application to a XP64
because of the memory addressability (we are blowing our memory model).

we currently are on VS .Net 2003.

Is there a patch to 2003, or must we upgrade to 2005 beta. if so what
limitations are known in the beta version.

Hi

We are looking at upgrading our current production application to a XP64
because of the memory addressability (we are blowing our memory model).
we currently are on VS .Net 2003.
Is there a patch to 2003, or must we upgrade to 2005 beta. if so what
limitations are known in the beta version.

Applications developed with VS2003/1.1 run on Windows x64 only as 32-Bit.

To build applications for 64-Bit you must compile with .NET 2.0 compilers
and/or use Visual Studio 2005:

C# compiler switch : /platform anycpu (or restrict to x64)
