At work I have version 7.1 of VS and can use Windows Forms in Managed
C++, but at home I am running version 7.0 and cannot use forms in MC++
nor can I open .sln files from projects completed on my works machine.
When I try and update VS at home using "check for updates" it errors,
telling me to check my internet connection (which is fine) then tells
me I am using the latest version.

Any thoughts on this? I have v1.1 of the .NET Framework (you can check
in control panel -> add/remove programs) but VS says I have version
1.0. Do I need to download the 100MB+ SDK for 1.1 ?

Any thoughts are appreciated,

Daniel

That's the difference between 7.1 and 7.0.

The "check for updates" seems to be for patches and service packs. Not that
any has been released so far...

That you have to peroform the check twice seems "normal", as that remains
the same for .NET 2003.

The 7.0 -> 7.1 upgrade, on the other hand, is a full product upgrade you
have to purchase. About a year ago MS had a special upgrade offer for this,
but that offer expired around october or so, last year.

..NET 2002 uses ver 1.0, .NET 2003 used ver 1.1

Whatever you download has on effect on that.
