VS 6 and .NET side by side ?
-
I'm sure this has been asked before ( and yes, I am also searching MSDN, but I want real world info ), but I need .NET for one task at work, and VS6 for the other. Can this work ? What should I be careful of ? I have two partitions, but only one OS. Christian Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 During last 10 years, with invention of VB and similar programming environments, every ill-educated moron became able to develop software. - Alex E. - 12-Sept-2002

I have VS 6 and VS 7 running side-by-side on 2 machines. I made sure to install VS 6 first. I'm not sure that it's a requirement, but I didn't want to take a chance.

I actually have both installed as does a co-worker. I installed the .NET Framework, then VS.NET, and lastly VS 6.0. I'm not sure if there are any problems installing it in another order, however both IDE's work great for me, no install errors or anything. I have this installed on one partition running Windows XP Pro, while my co-worker is running Windows 2000. Is this going to be a Monday morning install? Good luck and have fun if so. :) Nick Parker

Monday afternoon by the time I get to it. Thanks both for the advice, I'm now just making room on my hard drive. Christian Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle.

So far I havnt noticed any problems... I have them both installed on one partition on one OS, and I even installed VC6 after VS7 and its fine. I hope that is of any help. :)

I use both side by side on three different machines, and I haven't had any problems at all. All machines are running either 2000 or XP. -- Dana Holt Xenos Software

Fine for me too. I have installed VS6 after VS7. The two program run-times do not overlap (mfc/atl/... names have changed). So it's ok. However I haven't checked VisualSourceSafe. That is whether or not when switching environment, you lose account, attachment, working folder, and stuff. If you need VC6 projects from VC7, just try VC7 ==> VC6 project converter[^].

I've been running both for a while, though for the last two months I've actually rarely used VS 6. The only problem I ran into was getting libraries mixed up; I suppose some link libraries won't have a problem but the ones I build aren't cross compatible.

I had both on my dev machine at work. Then I got rid of 6.0. Then I had to re-install it due to unseen project circumstances :mad: and everything still works great. I doubt you'll have any problems as well. ASP.NET can never fail as working with it is like fitting bras to supermodels - it's one pleasure after the next - David Wulff

Shoudl work fine [one of my friends has it running]. Personally I'd install VS6 first. Regards, Brian Dela :-)
