framework 2.0 coexistance

[- Dan -]

i will be installing on my new computer sql server 2005 beta 2 which
installs sql workbench. this also installs the .net framwork 2.0. i will
also already have installed on my machine vs.net 2003 enterprise architect.
by default today i use the DNF 1.1. when 2.0 is installed, will i have to
do anything to tell vs.net 2003 to not use any part of the 2.0 framework or
will it "just know" ??

[Brian Henry]

I thought 2005 was still in alpha? wasnt the last build issued still a
prebeta build?

you are correct but my question was really towards an existing install of
vs.net 2003 and ignoring the dot net framework 2.0. simply put, since 2003
came out before the dnf 2.0, will it not even take the dnf 2.0 into account
and still function using 1.1? if i start a new project in vs.net, how do i
check what version of the dnf i'm coding against? maybe that is a better
way to put it.

I don't think having 2.0 installed will have any effect on 2003, it uses 1.1
only and when you install new frameworks the older ones stay there also. so
there should be no bad effects

You can find which on you are useing in the project properties (right click
on the project get properties) and the build item in the left tree there is
a supported runtimes. that will tell you what runtimes you app will be
supported on you can change this setting (backwards only, you can not use a
newer framework then what VS.NET was designed for)

I would not install alpha software on a production environment. I
assume that VS.NET 2003 will keep using .NET 1.1.

but herfried, if no body installed alpha/beta code in production
environemnts then we would not benefit as a whole. software has to be
tested with real world data or else we'd all be saying hello world and
working at northwind. ( or some java pet store :-O )

What I wanted to say: If you depend on the machine, do not install the alpha
version onto this machine.

Since VS2005 can't actually use .Net 2.0, it'll keep using 1.1.
