.NET Framework 1.0 SP3, 1.1 SP1 Tech Previews
-
Download from http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/updates/sptechpreview/default.aspx[^]. These service packs will apparently include:
- Customer issues addressed with hotfixes
- Improved WSDL import (web services)
- Data Execution Prevention support
- Buffer overrun protection
Item 3 is that pages containing JITted code will now be marked executable, so that it works with XP SP2 systems with DEP switched on (for the moment, this basically means AMD Athlon 64 and Opteron systems). Item 4 sounds like they've recompiled with
/GS. It's probably worth checking that your .NET applications still work properly with these service packs. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder -

What an interesting concept. -- Chris MaunderNote that these SPs will also address the new XP SP2 DCOM changes, IIRC, which require that applications ask for ports to be opened and can be allowed/denied by administrators through group policies. The
System.Netclasses will have to take this into account as well, otherwise I doubt we'd see an SP for either with .NET 2.0 on its way. Who knows about that, though.Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles
