upgrade C# application from 1.1 to 2.0
-
Hi I have a large application written in C# with SQL server2000 as database the application is running ok for 2 years now , limitation in Datagrid in C# 1.1 is the only headache facing me when mdifying this application . my quastion is regarding the upgrade to 2.0 for the full application , can 2.0 run the older 1.1 with no modifcations at all , and does the enhancement in 2.0 for the DataGrid in particular and C# in general worth migrating the application into 2.0 . and if so , we have to update the .NET framework on the users machines . is that a straight forward process . Thanx unitecsoft@hotmail.com We will either find a way , or make one .

I moved a 1.1 app to 2.0, a big one, and didn't have any real issues.

There's no upgrade, you leave 1.1, and put 2.0 on as well. So, it's very simple, you just install 2.0

Thanx Christian for your reply That is good , but it raises few more quastions , If .NET 1.1 and 2.0 can exist together on the same development machine , what about user machine , can .NET frameworks 1.1 and 2.0 exist on the same machine ? is .NET 1.1 framework services included within .NET 2.0 ? If I have an application compiled under 1.1 can it run directly on a user machine which has .NET 2.0 , and the opposite ? Also my main quastion regarding DataGrid in C# 2.0 , is it different / better than DataGrid in C# 1.1 , as per my experiance Datagrid in 1.1 is a headache .

Of course it can.

Yes. There are, however, breaking changes[^]. If you try to run a 1.1 app on a machine that has only .NET 2.0, you'll need to read this.

No. If you application uses ANY 2.0 specific functionality, it cannot be run under 1.1.

The new DataGridView is a completely new grid and blows the old DataGrid right out of the water.

2006, 2007Thanx alot dave your reply is realy helpfull , let me ask you about crystal reports , is it still supported in VS2005 . I have about 200 reports written in crystal reports 9 under VS2003 , last thing I nead is to recreate them . Crystal reports are realy powerful , only distribution with the aplication is a bit complicated from the license point of view . is there any reporting system in VS2005 different than crystal reports , and if so , is it better ? Dean We will either find a way , or make one .

crystal reports works well with VS2005. only thing as u said u have to take care at the time of making setup and deployment. i heard of something "reporting services" in VS2005 but didn't work in it.
