FolderBrowserDialog

[Bill Burris]

In the MSDN Library entry for FolderBrowserDialog it has red text at the top
which says: "Note: This namespace, class, or member is supported only in
version 1.1 of the .NET Framework".

Does this mean that it is new in 1.1, or does it mean that it is going to
disappear in the next version?

thanks

Bill

It's new in 1.1. It won't disappear in the next version.

The document assumes there exists only two versions of .Net Framework (1.0 &
1.1)

Thanks

Usually I don't post thank you notes unless I have additional technical
content to post, assuming it just adds more clutter to the newsgroup.
Jeffrey Tan sent me a message, wondering if this issue was resolved for me.
Yes vJ's answer was very helpful. But for the issue to really be resolved,
Microsoft needs to take more care in how things are flagged as new or
obsolete in the documentation.

I posted the question because I expect to be using .NET version 2, in the
near future.

..NET, C#, Visual Studio, & the MSDN Library are the main ingredients which
make Windows a great platform to work on. I still like to complain because
I want perfection.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your feedback.
Normally, the compatibility of .Net Framework class library in different
version is documented in MSDN.
For example, you can find that XslTransform.Load Method (XPathNavigator,
XmlResolver) is obsolete in .Net Framework 1.1.
So, there is a statement: "NOTE: This member is now obsolete." on top of
this method in MSDN.
"obsolete" means this class or method is not recommanded to use in version
1.1. This does not mean that version 1.1 does not support it.
While statement "Note: This namespace, class, or member is supported only
in version 1.1 of the .NET Framework" normally means that it was newly
introduced in version 1.1. For the future version 2.0 support, you need pay
attention to the http://msdn.microsoft.com. It will reflect the new
information of future version.

The articles below talks about the different between version 1.0 and
version 1.1.
