Vs.net 2003 on Vista...any issues?

[darrel]

Looks like we're getting Vista soon.

Alas, we're still maintaining a few apps in 1.1 using VS.2003. Are there any
issues? Does it run on Vista?

I found this which appers that MS doesn't SUPPORT it, but that's not really
an issue...as long as it runs.

We have virtualised some of our older machines into VPCs which run under
Vista fine, but I have no idea about running vs2003 directly.

Hello darrel,

One of our dev's tried this on his home machine back when we were still
using 2003. He got it to work with the exception that debugging ran into
permissions errors and he couldn't resolve them.

VS.Net 2003

System Requirements are as follows
Windows 2000; Windows NT; Windows Server 2003; Windows XP

Existing application will work until you have ASP.net 1.1 but you may have
issues developing anything new in Vista environment.

Hmm...thanks for the info/tips everyone.

I suppose I should ask another question...can ASP.net 1.1 apps be maintained
in VS.2005? Or do they have to first be converted to ASP.net 2.0 apps?

They will need to be converted. SP1 of VS.2005 will support the 1.1 Web
Application Project model or you can download that separately. I
recommend going with SP1, but be forewarned that the installation of SP1
takes forever.

I moved a large 1.1 web application to 2.0 with no problems with VS 2005
SP1. The project conversion produced no errors and everything compiled
(albeit a lot of warnings about deprecated method calls).

If you do go that route, make sure that you either have a backup of your
existing 1.1 app or let the conversion process create a backup.
