• D. Wille Debug and Release Buids

  I have a solution containing a windows forms application and a class library.  The windows forms application has a reference to the class library project.  When I build the project, it fails to find the class library output.  Looking closer at this, it appears that VS.NET is looking for the debug build, but the class library has been built in release mode. Since I have no idea how to switch between debug and release (used to be a ...Show All

• JSAdams Will there be a combined .NET redistributable for 1.1 + 2.0?

  I am a software tester, and I have a moderately-sized codebase of testware and testware tools written in .NET that produce different behavior between framework versions 1.1 and the 2.0 CTP's.  It looks like we will need to keep most of our tests compiled with 1.1 so that they can run there and at 2.0, whereas if we switched to 2.0, then they could only run against the 2.0 runtime. Relating to this need to be able to continue running code a ...Show All
