Moving from 1.1 to 2.0
-
Had a request from a potential client were they wanted to upgrade their current asp.net application from .net 1.1 to .net 2.0. I suggested they move to .net 3.5 while they are doing it but they flat out refused it, no reason given. I believe their staff is so far behind the curve they are just now learning 2.0. How many people are still working with 1.1? Would you skip 2.0 and go to 3.5?

In my opinion a successful migration is one that builds while only adding required functionality for the build to work. Thus a 2.0 migration is also a 3.5 migration. After successful you then add new features of the new build but do not change the old ones until they are broke.

Yes, but there can't be many who do, say, ASP.NET without using VS.

More reason not to do ASP.net. :-D

Server 2000 will be out of extendid support in four months, so I would imagine that would speed up migration projects quite a bit. //L
Doubtful. We still have clients working on programs in access 2.0. As long as everything works the client isn't going to upgrade.

Exactly. At the moment all frameworks post 2 are more extensions and enhancements, not base changes. Not sure about 4 though. Breakdown -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.NET_Framework[^]

You don't need Visual Studio to write for any version of .net.

It should be entirely painless and almost instantaneous to move from 1.1 to 2 or 3.5. Since 3.5 is really 2.0 with extra bits there's no reason not to go straight to 3.5. Anyone who panics about that really doesn't understand what they should about .net 3.5. I did this a long time ago with a huge app with both asp.net and winform interfaces and others and there were really no issues at all, it's a no brainer.

Hi Mark, 1.1 is ancient history for me. I build for 2.0 on a daily base, I only go for 3.5 if the app warrants that, i.e. when new features are sufficiently relevant. and IMO LINQ is not. 3.0 is irrelevant, it is either 2.0 or 3.5
BigIntegerwill be sufficient to move a few apps to 4.0 in the near future. :)Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles]
Happy New Year to all.
We hope 2010 soon brings us automatic PRE tags!
Until then, please insert them manually.

Unless we are talking C# vs. CLR. C# 3 is, like, way cool.

I was talking about CLR versions, but you're right, C# has its own version numbers. I'm not fond (yet) about the new goodies in C# 3.0, I'm actually quite satisfied with C# 2.0 and I definitely don't need the next PL/I language[^] :)

I only read code that is properly formatted, so far adding PRE tags is the easiest way to get it.

I <3 lambdas. No great shakes, but just plain cool.

Have them shoot for 4.0 and be done with it :)

Without any reason :confused: I was working on 1.1 just 7-8 months ago and yeah have skipped 2.0. And now working on 3.5. One question : are you going to charge your client for this upgrade? As we might have same situation in very near time.

Of course I am, I don't work for free.
