running .net application on framework 1.0

[ReidarT]

It seems that if an application is made under .net framework 1.1 the user
need framework 1.1 installed.
Some machines have .net framework 1.0 installed. Is it possible to force the
application to use framework 1.0 instead of 1.1 to run properly?

No because it just is using the code from the Net 1.1 which is not in 1.0.

You can force your compiler to Build (if that is not conflicting in your
code) to create 1.0 programs, however than it should be coded with the
limitations of a 1.0 program.

I hope this helps,

How do I force the code to compile in .net fw 1.0 ?

That's not necessarily true. If an appropriate config file is available and
the application doesn't make use of .NET 1.1's features, a .NET 1.1 assembly
can be executed with .NET 1.0. In the project properties you can check a
checkbox which will create the appropriate config files for you. However,
note that the compiler will still emit .NET 1.1 assemblies.

Hi Cor,

Just to clarify, you CAN´T force the compiler (VS.NET 2003) to create .NET
Framework 1.0 apps, but once compiled to .NET Framework 1.1 you can force
them to run with .NET Framework 1.0 through a .config file (that the
compiler can generate for you), and as you have said, it will do the trick
provided that you have not used .NET Framework 1.1 classes or functions.
