Component version question

[Antonio T.]

Using VS 2005...

Will a component (control) written for net 1.1 work in a end user computer
with just net 2.0 installed?

TIA.

Antonio,

It should however if it does can always be a problem if there is made a
mistake somewhere.

The Net versions should be upwards compatible.

Most likely, yes.

There are a few changes in the framework that could keep the code from
working, but most 1.1 code runs just fine in 2.0. It depends a bit on
what the component is doing, but you would be unlucky if it manages to
hit one of the few breaking changes (there is about 20 in the entire
framework).

Basically yes, but I'd recommend to test it extensively in order to make
sure it behaves as expected. Maybe it's easier to convert the control to VS
2005 or wait for the manufacturer to provide such a version.
