Updatoing .NET Framework version

Kaikus

Hi! I'm using just .NET Framework 1 and Visual Studio 2003. Will I have any problem if I install .NET Framework 2.0 or 3? Some controls will stop working? Will I have access to new controls / methods while programming, or It will onley install runtime libraries? I.E: Will I be able to use BindigSource / BindingNavigator, or I have to keep on CurrencyManager? Thanks!

I think you will probably have a better chance of getting a good answer to this question if you post it in the .NET Framework forum.

Hi, 1. wrong forum, this is not a DB question. 2. the .NET versions can live together, no worries at all. 3. the corresponding Visual Studio versions can live together too; the one you install last will dictate the file associations. 4. never versions of Visual Studio will convert your project files when opening them, making them no longer readable by older versions. 5. Why would anyone still use .NET 1.0 or 1.1? 2.0 has fixed a lot and added very useful stuff; 3.0 and 3.5 have added a lot more, not always very useful, functionality. And 4.0 will emerge pretty soon. :)

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.
