Framework version compatibility: VSNet 2002 vs 2003

[_K_]

I understand that there are compat. issues with versions of .NET
framework and code generated by VSNet 2002 vs 2003. IOW,
framework 1.1 is required for VSNet 2003-generated executables.
True? (I'd assume that all code genertated with VSNet2002 will
run OK with Framework 1.1, but please correct me if I'm wrong there)

Also, how do you get the currently installed .Net Framework version
number from XP?

Thanks

You are wrong there.

Most 1.0 code will run on Framework 1.1. There are some notable exceptions,
like XSLT transformations, that blow up under 1.1, however. The
gotdotnet.com site has details on breaking changes between the Frameworks.
You are still better to create 1.1 apps for 1.1.

You can run both 1.0 and 1.1 on the same machine, however. You can use a
..config file to specify which version of the framework to run under.

Also, how do you get the currently installed .Net Framework version
number from XP?

If you can go to the file system, open c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework
and look at the folders:

v1.0.3705 = Framework 1.0
v1.1.4322 = Framework 1.1

Hope this answers your questions.
