Integrate the .NET Framework 1.1 into MS Visual Studio .NET 2002 ??

[Robert Mayer]

Hello!

Can I integrate the .NET Framework 1.1 into the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2002 Edition?

Because there are new classes like the FolderBrowseDialog Class
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html
/frlrfsystemwindowsformsfolderbrowserdialogclasstopic.asp) which only works
with the .NET Framework 1.1 respectively the MS Visual Studio .NET 2003
Edition.

Thanks!

If FolderBrowseDialog is all you need from the .NET Framework 1.1, then
you're better off with the BrowseDialog component.

Thanks, but is there no other (better) way to install the newer .NET
Framework 1.1 and work with it in Visual Studio .NET 2002 ??

For example in JBuilder for Java I can select which Framework I use.

Hello!

2002 Edition?

Yes. Sort of.

Next question: Should I? No, not in a million years.

It requires a very kludgy set up that is horribly bug ridden. While it will
not affect most apps, the IDE "randomly" blows up when you do this
combination.

Not convinced? You can go back in groups.google.com and see the method of
setting this up if you would like to try yourself. Once again, I do not
recommend it.

Thanks!

Best bet is to move to VS.NET 2003.

The short answer is no. But, you can do a hack to make VS.NET 2002 work with
the 1.1 Framework. But, it is not worth the effort. Your best bet is to get
VS.NET 2003. Or use SharpDevelop with 1.1(free IDE).
