2005 project conflicting with 2003

Jack Russell

I have a project developed under VS2005 on one PC. If I move the exe
file and dlls to another PC which has VS2003 installed plus framework 2
When I try to run the exe (by clicking on the exe) it asks me which 2003
debugger I want to use. Whatever answer I give it does not work!
I built the exe as a "release". Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong.

Release DLLs don't have debugging symbols, so debugging a release binary
will fail.

Sorry, can you expand that. I am not trying to debug, I just want to run it.

Its Ok I had not copied all the dlls over. Surely .net could tell you
that was the problem as it does if the framework is not present!

..NET probably did:

2 When I try to run the exe (by clicking on the exe) it asks me which

If you cancelled the debugger request, a crash message with the stack trace
would have shown up.

However, you tried to debug a release DLL with no debug symbols nothing was
debugged (probably only hex code). Are you familiar with the difference
between release and debug binaries? I can't find a good link explaining the
difference bug suffice to say debug builds contain information required for
debugging while release builds do not. Release builds also run faster than
debug builds :-)

VSS 2005 and VS 2003 question

by: Learner | last post by:

Hi there, I have one another question on VSS 2005 and VS 2003. We had few projects built in VS 2003 and we had all of those projects under the VSS 6.0 until now. But as part of our development environment up gradation our idea is slowly move few projects from VSS 6.0 to VSS 2005. As a test we did move an ASP.NET project that was built in VS 2003 project (no solution file) from VSS 6.0 to VSS 2005 and the move was successfully (not...

Hello all, I have VStudio 2005 currently installed on my workstation. However, I am collaborating on a project with an outside consultant who is using VS 2003.

I tried loading the project (solution) into VS 2005 and it warned that changes would be made that would result in incomptibility with VS 2003.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

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,...
