Hi,

I hope someone can help me
We have purchase Visual Studio 7.1 that uses framework version 1.1
The client we've built the application for refuses to upgrade to framework version 1.1 for company's politics reason
They have on their system Visual Studio 7.0 with framework 1.0
I heard we can't buy Visual Studio 7.0 anymore
Is there a way we can make it work on their system without having them upgrading to framework 1.1
 
Well, what you can do is still code against the 1.0 framework but make sure you don't use any 1.1 specific methods/properties that were added. You won't be able to use VS.NET for compiling, though, and will have to do it via the command line. If you need to distribute the solution/project to the customer as 7.0, there are methods/tools out there that can help you convert those files so they can open them. I'm almost certain that you can find it somewhere, may have to talk to MS, though.

In VS.NET 2003 (7.1), you can set the framework version in the project
properties. This will add data to the app.config, redirecting the assemblies
at load time.

As far as refusing to upgrade for "politics" -- that sounds rather dumb. I'd
love to hear the reason why.

Thanks,

Kim,
In addition to the other's comments. Have your client read carefully the
following MSDN article that explains the side-by-side nature of .NET 1.0 &
..NET 1.1:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetdep/html/sidexsidenet.asp

Your client can have both versions of the framework loaded and their code
will use 1.0 while your code can use 1.1. Alternatively you can compile with
1.1 & set settings in the app.config/web.config, or you could compile with
1.0 as the others suggested...

Personally I would opt for the side-by-side deployment. Although there are
enough bug fixes & improvements in both VS.NET 2003 & .NET 1.1 the upgrade
is worth it!

Hope this helps
Jay

Provided you do not have any breaking changes, you can install the 1.0
Framework SDK on a machine:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/v1.0/default.aspx

You will then have to use the command line compiler for your language
(vbc.exe for VB.NET, csc.exe for C#) and compile the files in the project.
This is a bit more involved.

For Visual Studio .NET 2002, try Ebay:

Looks like there are other outlets where you can still get the 2002 product:
