Visual Studio 2005 and Vista
-
I currently use Visual Studio.net 2003 on a Windows XP Pro platform for the creation of windows applications. These applications are usually run on Windows 2000, or XP. I still use the .net 1.1 framework. What, if any issues will I run into if I were to upgrade to Visual Studio and Vista? Will the windows applications I create still run on XP or 2000? Should I just continue with VS 03 and XP, or is the move really worth it? Thanks. Marc

Marc, This is just a guess, but I think your 1.1 apps will work fine. The incompatibility issues, as I understand it, have to do with the IDE. You may need to install VS 2005 with the special Vista service pack in order to further develop your 1.1 apps. VS 2003 will likely have problems (though I havn't tried it). As for the experience, I've enjoyed developing in the Vista/VS 2005 combo. I'm using a dual boot with XP, though, so I can go back and forth. In XP, I have VS 2003 and VS 2005 running side by side.
