Upgrading to 2005

[Anil Gupte]

I am planning to move from my Visual Studio .Net 2003 edition to the 2005
platform. I understand that 2005 uses the 2.0 framework. Will this affect
my development in 2003 should I wish to continue developing in that? The
reason is that I am familiar with VB.Net 2003 and may want to go back to it
occasionally, but in 2005 I am planning to learn C#.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanx,

Hello Anil,

No, you will still be able to migrate your 2003 project to 2005, and you
will be able to execute the code without any problems.

Personally I like the framework 2.0 better than framework 1.1, it gives you
many new capabilities.

Cheers!

Hi,

I managed to migrate my code from VS2003 to VS2005 but we still have
DotNet1.1 installed on our server and the department is not planning
to upgrade to Dotnet2.0 for a while (I know it sounds silly) is there
a chance to use VS2005 on Dotnet1.1. and if the answer is yes, what
needs to be done to my project for it to compile and run with no
errors.

I hope you have an answer for me.


Cheers
Joseph

There's another alternative. I've not tried this, but take a look at:
