.net 1.1 or 2.0?

[Guest]

Hi,

I just wanna start writing a .net web service - but which framework shall I
choose? What are the main improvements for web services in the net beta2
release of vs2005? Can I still call a 2.0 webservice out of a 1.1 application?

Thanks
Peter

I can recommend you to start writing you service with .NET 2.0 because it's
the latest and highly improved version. If you use .NET 1.1 will have to
investigate new features of .NET 2.0. Why? So, my opinion is 2.0.

The answer depends on your intended purpose of the WS. If you intend to have
this ervice hosted, or are writtingit, for any enternal customers, then
given then a webservice written in a beta is unacceptable.

However if you have none of these concerns use 2.0. There no point in look
at esomething that in 8 months will be superceeded.

Rather than ask about improvements, the bigger question is when? You can
currently release, under the GoLive license, with the 2.0 Framework. But, it
is still beta, so there is a mild risk.

If you are needing to release today, I would say 1.1 rather than 2.0. If the
app is going to be released in the fall, then 2.0 makes a lot of sense.

WSE2.0 only works with .NET 1.1 at the moment, so if you're thinking of
using that, I'd avoid .NET2 at present... You'll also need VS2003 (not
2005).
