I heard and am loooking for a patch for the 1.1 framework, that would
allow it to serialize and deserialize v 2.0 types succesfully, so that
1.1 and 2.0 apps can work even in remoting scenarios.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find said patch?
 
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you mean. You can remote a 1.x
object in a 2.0 application. However there are features that may not be
backward compatible. For instance, if you use Binary for the RemotingFormat
on a 2.0 DataSet, it's going to be a bit rough deserializing that in 1.1.
However I'd need to know a little more about your specific scenario before I
could really make any sound recommendations.
 
DateTime for example does not serialize... therfore...
if you have a datatable or dataset with datetime inside it
somewhere.... it will fail.
Any custom objects you have will fail.

We use Binary serialization, to store things in a remote cache server,
using remoting.
This has been in place for eyars, and al live aps use it, it is 1.1.

we started working on our plan to build new things in 2.0, so we
started with our framework layer. As soon as 2.0 page tries to put
something in the cache or take out... if there is a datetime in
volved... puff... failure. It would be invoncivable to rewwrite all our
code to make some custom datetime type or something like that. and the
deserialize hajs to support it even in complex types, the performance
hit of analizying na object, ocrrecting it and then deserializng would
be unacceptable.

In any case, a microsoft guy told me that supposidly there is a patch
for the 1.1 framewokr that cuases it to deal with 2.0 datatypes
properly. However he could not find the kb article for me, and now... i
don't know what to do. I am pretty much googled out trying to find this
patch, and that is the only thing next to a solution that i have
found.
 
I have found out today, thanks to the great help from a few dedicated
Microsoft employees, that there is a patch being released, hoepfully in
the next month or so, however if you have product support services
account, you can get it now, when it is released it will be KB 907262.
Many thanks to the guy's who took their time to help me out.
