• Mohamad Shehadeh Relationship representation

• Nate Licencing of Crystal Web Components

• Tuomas Performance WCF vs .NET remoting

• grambo 1 Add-In uses .net 1.1, a second uses .net 2.0

  Hello; I just created a simple Add-In using VS 2003. I also have VS 2005 & .net 2.0 (release) installed on my computer. The .net 1.1 Add-In would only run if I created a winword.exe.config file setting the runtime to .net 1.1. Without that Word would exit during it's startup (no message, no crash - just exit). With the config it runs fine. So, what if someone wants to run two Add-Ins with Word, one built under .net 1.1 and one built under .n ...Show All
