Should I use VS2005 B2 in an existing project?

I'm working on a pretty significant ASP.NET project using VS2003. I have the Beta 2 CD and the new features look very compelling. The project is about 50% complete. I understand that both IDEs will co-exist on the dev machine. Is it possible to run a site with parts of the project on 1.1 and part on 2.0. How about the global elements like global.asax and web.config? Any comments and suggestions appreciated.

Hi,

Its possible to configure Virtual Directories for separate versions of ASP.NET. If you are using database for storing a session, then you should not have any issues with the session as well.

The web.config can be the same if you have it at a root level above both virtual directories but I think the xml scheme for web.config for v2.0 has undergone some changes so maybe better to have that separate.

However, read the Go Live license carefully and decide if you want to make the move. The .NET Framework 2.0 is expected to reach RTM on Nov 7th 2005.

Regards,
Vikram
