You might want to test your application under the 2.0 Framework before you worry about its installation. Breaking Changes in .NET Framework 2.0[^].

You'll just have to change the installer for the app. You could get away with removing the .NET Framework dependancy or possibly just changing the version of the dependancy to 2.0.(something I can't remember offhand).

The code itself will launch (by default) under the latest runtime if the specified runtime is not available. That doesn't mean that it'll work 100% the same as it did under 1.1.

I have changed the version of the dependancy to 2.0.50727, and it works fine under the 2.0 framework. But when I test in another workstation only have .net framework 1.1. The installation request it to install the .Net Framework 2.0, but my application should run under .net framework 1.1 without any problem.

How can I work around this? When the workstation has .Net framework version 1.1 and up, it doesn't need to install any more .net framework.

THanks, Dave!

Whoops! My bad! It's a Dependancy, so without that version, the app won't install. You can put the version number back to the original value, then set the AllowLaterVersions property of the .NET Framework dependency to True. By doing this, you're specifying that your app needs at least version 1.1 of the Framework installed. Newer versions are acceptable for installation.

Hello, Dave..That's so funny..I can't find the AllowLaterVersions property in Launch conditions -> .Net Framework ->property. There are only 4 propperties (Name, InstallUrl, Message, SupportedRuntime) and I'm using VS2003 version. Do you have any idea?

Yikes! I though you were using 2005. That property doesn't exist in 2003.
About the best option you have, using the Setup and Deployment project in 2003, is to remove the dependancy entirely. The MSI will no longer check to see if the .NET Framework is installed.

You're better off using one of the other Installer builders or bootstrappers.

Switching .Net version in Visual Studio

Hi,
Simple question for experienced programmers, I think.

I used to work with Visual Studio 2003 in combination with .NET framework 1.1
The development webserver now runs .NET framework 2.0

Now I've installed .NET Framework 2.0 on my development computer.
But when I try to create a new C# web application project on the server, VS tells me that the server does not have .NET framework 1.1, which is true.

What do I have to do to make .NET framework 2.0 the default framework in Visual Studio for new projects?

Greetings
Henk

Install Visual Studio.NET 2005.

Visual Studio.NET 2002 will only compile against the .NET Framework 1.0.
Visual Studio.NET 2003 will only compile against the .NET Framework 1.1.
Visual Studio.NET 2005 will only compile against the .NET Framework 2.0.

Isn't 2005 backwards compatible with .NET 1.1 also?

2005 will not work at all with the 1.1 Framework. It's entirely dependant on the 2.0 Framework.

Remember that the compilers are NOT in Visual Studio, they're in the .NET Framework!

Most code generated by the 1.1 compilers will run under the 2.0 Framework, but there ARE breaking changes. Some 200 new classes were introduced in 2.0 and some 1200 changes made to existing classes.

Code generated by the 2.0 Framework will work under 1.1, but ONLY IF no classes and changed methods or properties were used that is specific to the 2.0 Framework.

I've never seen an error formatted like this. My first question would be does the other computer have the same version of the .NET Framework installed as you developed it under? It appears you're developed it under 2.0.

Visual Studio automatically detects C++ dependencies (MFC71.dll : VC_User_MFC71_RTL_X86_---.msm and MSVCR71.dll), but when I install these 2 Dll are in my install folder not in Windows System folder.
How can I put these 2 system dll directly in Windows System folder ?

I need to make an installer using the VS2005 Setup Project.
One of tasks is a language selection dialog.
The User Interface of Setup Project doesn't include an appropriate dialog
Because none of the dialogs doesn't comprise at least a ComboBox.
Using of Custom Action is not useful Because it appears too late in a middle of a installation process.

Any ideas?

I´ve made a desktop application in C# (.NET 1.1) and now I would like it to run in a local intranet. I know that I can change the .NET configuration on each client and give the application FULL_TRUST permission on the machine ... but isn´t there an easier way ??

Each assembly in the application is strong named, and I seem to remember that this should make it possible to have .NET prompt each user for FULL_TRUST permission when the application is initially launch. This would remove the need for changing the .NET configuration on each machine and make my life much easier Smile | :)

Is this possible or is my memory playing me for a fool Smile | :)

Only if your machines are in a domain environment, or some other environment that let's you push down Group Policies. You'll have to put together a Group Policy package that the domain will push down to the workstations.

Hi,

I seem to have a problem trying to reference the components of my already existing windows C sharp application developed using .Net Framework v1.0.3 to v1.1.4. I tried giving a reference path to the folder containing the DLLs of the new components, but it doesnt work.

Do I need to uninstall the previous .Net Framework and is that safe? By that I mean will my code complie with the new framework. Please help.

You can't set a reference to a folder. It has to be to the .DLL itself. You MAY have to recompile the .DLL under the new framework if your .DLL's code won't run under the .NET Framework 2.0 without modification. There ARE breaking changes that exist when running 1.0 or 1.1 code under 2.0. THe list of which you can find here.[^]

An application can only load and run under one version of the .NET Framework at any time, so all of your code that your app needs must run under the same version of the .NET Framework.

Vijaykumar Rajaram wrote:

No, you don't. Each version of the .NET Framework peacefully co-exists with the others.

hey

I am making an HTMLEditor, and one bug which has been annoying the living hell out of me for ages suddenly reared its ugly head.

When typing, the rtb receives text, as it should, but when I click into another control (ie a textbox in a toolstrip) and then click back onto the textbox, it will not enter text from the keyboard.

It accepts cut/paste commands etc, but not from the actual keyboard.

I can only think that some variables have not been reset in one of its keydown events, but there are no obvious errors I can find.

I was hoping someone had some sort of experience with this bug from previous coding.

This code really is too long to post (2500 lines in the main form) but if anyone wants to see it specifically I would be more than happy to share it. The idea of this post was to find an alternative to it being an error in the events.

Regards and thanks a lot in advance Wink | ;)

Application Preformed an illegal operation and will be shut down. exc

Exception: 0xc0000005
Address: 03fd1a02

the only thing my for is doing on load is setting the text in a label...of course it does more than that, but not untill someone at least clicks a button. Im getting this error before the program even fully launches.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Never Mind...I figured it out, it was the icon i put on my form...so i guess you cant use icons in the compact framework? Everytime i put one on it bombs out in the emulator...maybe i need to copy the icon to the app directory on the device?

Error while executing dynamically loaded assemblie's method.

Hi all.
I have a little problem and I can't solve it myself already 2 days.

I have an ASP.NET web application, it has static reference to an datamining assembly which collect some data. DataMiner loads some drivers using simple factory

DriverController's (Factory) static method LOADDRIVER:

<br />
private static IDriver m_driver;<br />
Assembly Driver = Assembly.LoadFrom(m_driverInfo.FullPath + m_driverInfo.FileName);<br />
m_driver = (IDriver) Driver.CreateInstance(m_driverInfo.TypeName);<br />
return m_driver;<br />

than, DataMiner works with driver by invoking its method

<br />
public double GetMetric(string MetricName, params Object[] args)<br />
{<br />
return (double) this.GetType().GetProperty(MetricName).GetValue(this, System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Default, null, null, System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);<br />
}<br />

Driver has properties named accordingly metric names. This properties invoke remote web service's methods for getting values.

When i have simple winform application instead of webapplication - all works, but in case of web application any of Driver's properties fails on remote web service's method invoke with InvalidOperationException (message: There was an error generating the XML document.) --> Inner exception: InvalidCastException (message: Specified cast is not valid.)

Stack Trace:
