I have a .Net application (VB, VS 2005, FX 2) running in more than one
country. As part of the product registration process, some information on the
computer is collected and sent to a web service; this includes the operating
system which is obtained using the My.Computer.Inf o.OSFullName function. For
some machines we get "Microsoft Windows XP Professional" and for others
"Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2". I understand these are
essentially the same product but the fact that they have a different set of
environment variables (at least for name) suggests that there are some
differences. Is it safe to
assume that an app running on either of these installations of Windows will
behave the same?

Hi,
On my XP SP2 computer, "Environment.OS Version.ToStrin g" returns
"Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2" and
"My.Computer.In fo.OSFullName" returns "Microsoft Windows XP
Professional". In my idea first one is more reliable because it
provides service pack version plus platform identifier. Thus it would
be safer to compare more detail in each PC.
So if you assume both as the same, there would be a trouble or
difference about exact OS version number based on service pack if
your software behaves different on different service pack-powered XPs.
Hope this helps,
Onur Güzel
thanks

I have been developing web-based applications for around 3 years, first

I am starting to wonder if web applications are really the way forward for

sites (eg. amazon.com). I am starting to think, with the .NET framework
being shipped with new operating systems, and freely available online, that

I have an ASP.NET 1.4 app running on W2003 IIS6. I created a new site (e.g.
on port 85) where I want to run ASP.NET 2.0.
When I set Asp.Net to 2.O on new site properties, the old site would give me
a "SERVER ERROR". When I reset the old site to 1.4 the new one does not work.
Is there a way to run 2 versions side by side.
Thanks in advance.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
