Framework 2.0 and VS.net 2003

[Guest]

I've been using VS.NET 2003 and Framework 1.1 for over a year.

I 'm interested in using Framework 2.0, particularly because of it's
enhanced Compact Framework for Smart devices.

I'm still unlclear on whether I can just load this and it will work with
VS2003 and existing projects I've created. I have browsed around the docs,
and it says you need VS2005 OR the Framework 2.0.

As a test, I installed just the runtime Framework on my development system,
and VS2003 crashed when attempting to compile my app - not a good start.

Wnats the deal? What do I need to do to move from 1.1 to 2.0?

Get VS2005.

VS2002 only works with .NET1.0
VS2003 -> .NET1.1
VS2005 -> .NET2.0

Thanks much.

Unfortunately, If you install even the 2.0 framework on a developement
system with VS2003, it breaks it. I cant build apps now - the IDE crashed
(quits with no error) when I go to build/debug.

Also - the 2.0 framework deinstall crashes without totally deinstalling.

I (and many others, I believe) had multiple versions of .NET framework
and/or multiple versions of VS.NET on a single computer, and they have been
working very well. At one point, I have all VS.NET (2002/2003/2005)
installed in my computer plus SQL Server2000 and SQL Server2005. No problem
at all.

I've got this working since 2005 came out without problems....

Do you all have VS 2005 installed on your system? I dont, and Im wondering
if that caused the problem.

I stupidly installed the 2.0 runtime on a system without VS 2005

I run all versions of the framework on my system and their associated IDE's.
And have Visual Studio 6.0 too. So far, no problems with any of them. (
other than after using VB2005, I don't want to go back to the others
Just having the 2.0 runtime on your system shouldn't break VS2003. Unless it
is one of the Beta versions of 2.0.
And I have heard of a couple of problems with a ASP.NET app. developed with
framework 1.1 and 2.0 on the same machine.
I don't remember the exact problem , but, there is a cure for that too.

Thanks for all the input.

The build problem is fixed. It was apparently caused by some third-party
controls that I had in my projects. I found this out by creating a new
project with just Windows Forms controls, and it built successfully.

I reinstalled the 3rd party stuff and it work ok now.
