Vs2005 -> .net 1.1

[McBainUK]

Hi all. Need a bit of help.

Is there a way of getting MS Visual Studio 2005 to produce a .NET 1.1 app? I've been looking through the build options without sucess

Thanks

Its not supposed to be able to, but I seem to remember seeing some posts about it a while back. http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?P...Name=MSBee is an example

For Windows Mobile 5 (kinda of related) you can say that the applciation is compatible with Framework 1.0 by using a application.config file:

Code:

<configuration>
  <runtime>
    <compatibilityversion major="1" minor="0"/>
  </runtime>
  <startup>
    <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.5238"/>
  </startup>
</configuration>

Not sure if same will apply to PC programs - google will be your friend...

Yeah I've googled but seems like its not possible (at least easily). So currently installing VS2003.

Thanks for the replys

This seems to imply it is possible:

Hmm, didn't compile anything, but got the options to come up.

Here are the actual instructions to follow: http://blogs.msdn.com/jomo_fisher/archiv...10903.aspx

McBain,

I used the MSBee program from MS to compile a 1.1 program from VS2005. It was several months ago but i don't recall it being very difficult at all. There was a thread about a while back where I was talking to bgowland about the same thing. The link Sub provided is the official site for MSBee. here is an additional link about it on MSDN:

Thanks for all the links guys. In the end I talked nicely to the IT guys at my University and they've setup a .NET 2.0 machine for me to demonstrate my final year project on (sole reason I wanted to know about this stuff).

Perhaps I'm getting VS and SharpDevelop confused but I remember seeing a dropdown box that allowed you to select the framework version? Anyhow, I suppose you *might* be able to remove all of the .NET 2.0 references and add the .NET 1.1 refs, but I think you'd still have to invoke the 1.1 compiler from the command line.
