.NET 3.0 installation questions
some questions please...
1. i currently have VS 2005 and .NET2.0 installed. i want to install .NET 3.0, Orcas, the new windows SDK, etc. afterwards will i still be able to compile and work with .NET 2.0 applications as well as .NET 3.0? (i need to do both.)
2. will .NET 3.0 apps run exactly the same on WinXP as on Vista? what i mean is, will my user base be missing out on any core functionality of .NET3.0, WPF, etc because they have WinXP installed and not Vista?
3. Is .NET3.0 and Vista fully releases now? What about the designer apps, etc. Is any of it still in beta?
thanks

Hi,
You can Install the .net 3.0 framework without any complexity. It will not impact on any performance and coding that you had already did.
All the applications will run in the same way,as they were runnimg previously. Micrsoft has just added some new classes in 3.0 but the CLR engine is still 2.0.
thanks for ur reply

Yes, .NET 3.0 applications should run equally well on Windows XP and Windows Vista, assuming that both systems have the .NET Framework 3.0 installed. The main difference is that the .NET 3.0 is a part of the OS on Windows Vista, but it is a redistributable that must be installed separately on Windows XP (and Windows Server 2003).
Thanks! Aaron
