I an taking a course in Visual Basic .Net. At the college
we attend, they have VB .Net 2002 on all the PC's in the
class room and the lab. We receive from Microsoft and the
school a copy of VB .Net 2003 to install on our home
computers. I don't hav eto time to get to the college to
do my work in the Lab. Is there any way to create a
VB .Net 2003 project at home and have it run at school
with VB .Net 2002. The obvious solution is to have the
school install the new version in the classroom and the
LAb, Don't think that is going to happen. Thanks in
advance.
 
FYI, this doesn't address the problem of being able to code both places, but
you can compile to 1.0 Framework under 2003. Also, your classes should have
binary compatilbity, only the solutions should be different Note though
that there are language enhancements that you'll have to
forego....DataReader.HasRows and the abilityh to initialize a variable in a
For Loop are two that come to mind that I really really like about VB2003.

Cheers,

Bill

William,
Visual Studio .NET 2002 won't be able to open up Visual Studio .NET
2003 projects. Sure you can convert the project / solution files back,
but if you've used any of the .NET Framework 1.1 features, then they
will not work in .NET Framework 1.0.

Your best bet is to have the school upgrade to Visual Studio .NET 2003,
which only cost $29 US until Sept. 20, 2003

Not to be a wet blanket here, but the cost of having "a school upgrade" all
classroom and lab computers to a new version of Visual Studio .NET (or any
other software package) is not the money, but the time needed and potential
classroom and lab downtime if things don't go as planned. Such a mass
upgrade is unlikely to happen in the middle of a semester. IME.
Although not foolproof, the OP's best bet may well be the utility cited by
Rob Windsor until the school in question upgrades.
