dotnet 2 and VB.net

[Maileen]

Hi,

I've install the dotnet 2 beta 2 but how can i tell VB.net to using it ?
i only have the choice between 1.0, 1.1 or both...but never about v2.

how can i solve that ?
thx,
Maileen

Are you talking about 'Open With', Maileen or setting the Framework version
in the VS IDE to .NET Framework v 2.0?

Please be more specific

VS.NET 2002 can only be used together with .NET 1.0.
VS.NET 2003 can only be used together with .NET 1.1.
VS 2005 can only be used together with .NET 2.0.

If you want to use .NET 2.0 with the VS IDE, you'll have to upgrade to
version 2005.

Herfried,

You can set VS.Net 2003 to build an application that targets
framework version 1.1, 1.0 or both.

You can set VS.Net 2003 to build an application that targets
framework version 1.1, 1.0 or both.

That's true, but VS.NET will still create .NET 1.1 assemblies only.

ok, thanks for info.

i was quite sure that it will be a problem of VS.net 2003.

so i will have to update to 2005.
thx again.

That's true, but VS.NET will still create .NET 1.1 assemblies only.

Can an Assembly built with VS'2003 (CLR 1.1) be used in an
Application built using VS'2002 (CLR 1.0)?
If so, will the "1.1" Assembly still have a run-time dependency(?)
on the 1.1 Framework?

And, thinking ahead a few months,
Can an Assembly built with VS'2005 (CLR 2.0) be used in an
Application built using VS'2003 (CLR 1.1)?

And, if /not/, how are people thinking about managing the
migration from one Framework version to the other?

TIA,
Phill W.

Better yet, how is MS doing this. The WSUS API is based on the .NET 1.1
framework and assemblies.
