Hi,

I've been developing apps using .NET 1.0. When I began developing a couple
years ago I read that apps developed using the 1.0 framework would not run on
a machine with only the 1.1 framework installed. However, I recently
installed an application on a brand new computer that had 1.1 pre-installed.
The program ran without 1.0 being isntalled at all.

Does the 1.1 framework now support 1.0 apps? Is there a certain service
pack that must be installed for it to do so?

Thanks,
Nathan

Partially good fortune, partially good backward compatibility.
I seem to recall that there were some features in v1.0 that were not put
into 1.1 and your application did not use any of the features not in 1.1.
Another application might fail if it used a discontinued feature.

Pvdg42, which features?

AFAIK, programs written for 1.0 should be completely be runable in 1.x

So I am curious if there are exceptions.

Do you know where I might find documentation to verify your response? I
don't want to tell people they don't have to install 1.0 if they already have
1.1, and say "Cor says it should work." :)

I'm afraid I can't give you anything specific, but when I responded, I had a
vague recollection of some obscure entities in 1.0 that were not carried
forward. I may be incorrect in my recollection.

AFAIK means As far as I know. Did you think that I would write this if I
knew direct where I could find this.

It is searching on MSDN, if you want to be sure, why than not search it
yourself or just test it.

I don't have a 1.0 program at hand. So it is easier to do by you than by me.
