Is the ".NET Framework Version 2.0 Redistributable Package Beta 1 (x86)"
Backwards compatible with applications written in 1.1 ?

What are the changes in this new version?

I'm currently using Visual Studio 2003 IDE.
Can i just download the 2.0 SDK and be able to benefit of the new changes?


I see that 2.0 is still currently just a beta, but this would be nice to know for future reference....

Jarod,
..NET 2.0 requires VS.NET 2005 (also in Beta). You can have both 1.1 & 2.0
installed on the same machine side-by-side. I would recommend only
installing the 2.0 beta on isolated "Development" machines as it is still in
beta. I use a VPC (Virtual PC or VMWare). By isolated I mean a separate PC
then your normal development machine, unless you are using something like
Ghost to easily restore your PC, as it is a beta afterall...


For a list of what changed from 1.1 to 2.0 see:

For information on VS.NET 2005 & .NET 2.0 see:

Hope this helps
Jay
