Converting between Ver 1.1 and ver 2.0 .net

Howdy,

I have just written a small program in VB 2005 in .net framework 2.0, i wondering if there is a way that the executable could still run in ver 1.1 as i have been getting errors (ie not compatible!)
   The program is very simple, and i dont think i use any new "fancy" parts of 2.0 (I am very new to VB and .net....like today)

thanks...

Dwayne

    Ok, I tried a small experiment and Yes, you are correct. I got a
    "Application generated an Exception that cannot be handled" when I tried to force a v2.0 EXE on v1.1

    So, I guess the only option is to rebuild the app for v1.1.

    MS has stated there is no forward compact with the 2.0 framework... 2.0 stuff will not run on just the 1.1 framework... it does not work

    Hi Dwayne,

    You could give the supportedRuntime option a try.
    <supportedRuntime>

    Also take a look at:
    Specifying which runtime version to use:

    In case, you dint specify it, then an attepmt would be made to run the app with the version of the framework it was built with. When you specify using the supportedRuntime property, the CLR tries to run it with the other version.

    However, this does not guarantee that the app will work fine. You need to test that out yourself.

    The answer is no... there is no forward compatability with the 2.0 framework since they changed so much
