Hi All, I have a .net 2.0 assembly which uses generic etc...If I try to add
it into my other project [vs.net 1.0] on a different machine which just has
1.0 framework installed, it throws error saying !!

"A reference to the foo.dll couldn't be added. This is not a valid assembly
or a COM Component. Only assemblies with extension dll and COM Components
can be referenced"

How do I rectify this solution, I have to use this in my 1.0 framework
Project


TIA!

A .NET 2.0 assembly cannot be loaded under framework 1.0 or 1.1. The 1.0/1.1
..NET runtime simply has no way to understand it.

1> Install 2.0 framework on that machine.
2> Only use .Net 1.0 features in your dll, and use .Net 1.0 compiler to
compile it.

HTH.
