Hi,

No this is not possible. There is no forward compatibility with .NET v2.0. You cannot use any of the v2.0 features from v1.0/v1.1

Hi,

You can use the Express Edition to use the namespace and build applications for .NET v2.0

1.] Yes you will need to install .NET v2.0 Runtime on every computer where you want your application to run on.

2.] It is not possible to use VS2003 to build applications on .NET v2.0

Hi,
Let's say that I develope my application in VS. 2003, by declaring an interface and implemete it. If I want to implement it in the future by the .Net 2.0 new classes.
If it isn't possible so where are the benefits using .Net, If developers has to make all things from the beginning.
Is it right what I'm saying!!

Hi,

VS2005 comes with a migration wizard and except for some breaking changes, most code that you write in v1.1 will work in v2.0. You would however need to recompile it for v2.0 when you decide to use 2.0 of the Framework.

For the list of changes and changes that will break existing code in v1.1 take a look here:

Apart from the changes documented there everything else should work as it worked on v1.1
