Converting To .NET 2.0 Changes 'UserAppDataPath' Value...?

[A_StClaire_]

hi all,

in my Outlook add-in, I was using
System.Windows.Forms.Application.UserAppDataPath to get the user
roaming directory.

however since moving from Visual Studio 2003 to 2005, I noticed the
value returned by this property changed. namely, it went from
'C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data' to 'C:\Documents
and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft Corporation\Microsoft
Office Outlook\11.0.8010'.

I know I can use
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)
with VS 2005 to get what I want. still, I was just wondering why
there's a difference in
System.Windows.Forms.Application.UserAppDataPath between .NET 1.1 and
2.0.

does anyone know?

thx

The only change I know of is that it will return a different value if
the application was deployed using ClickOnce.
