ok thanks buddy
Hi,

In contrast of working with IDE, there is no difference.
But if you talk about the software developed by WIN XP and you want to run it on Win 7. One problem might occur in case of WIN API calls.

Suppose, there is a WINAPI call and that API exist in XP. Now if it obseleted in Win 7 then it might create the problem.

thanks...wil bak with more doubts...
thanks
There is no difference in Development.

but the you have to take care about the deployment flat form, normally VS.net supports(32 bit/64 bit and any CPU). Windows 7 is release in 32bit and 64 bit. better to compile your applications in any CPU mode.

Thanks

Point wise difference is like this.

There is no difference b/w XP and 7 w.r.t installation of C# project but we need to take care these.

1. Find the operating system 32 bit / 64 bit ?

2. Find the installed folder's access rights. If the user is not having enough rights operator may not access the executable as in XP.

3. Find the UAC check at manifest. In my openion, it is better if the project is having Administrator privillages from Manifest.

Ref : requestedexecutionlevel level="requireAdministrator" uiaccess="false"

Thanks,
KV Subrahmanyam.
