• .NET Development Backward Compatibility of .NET Framework 2.0

  I need to find out some information so that our company can determine which version of .NET Framework to install on all desktops. We have a limited number of third party applications which currently use .NET and version 1.1 If I install new machines with only v2.0, are applications backward compatible i.e. will my current applications still (with high certainty) work - I obviously will have to have a testing cycle in any case. When v2.0 is installed on a machine which already contains v1.1, it does not prompt that v1.1 is already installed and installs both versions. Is installation of both versions (1.1 and 2.0) on a machine conside ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't install SSIS on an XP machine

  Hi all, Why would I not be able to install SSIS on an XP machine   The option is grayed out.  As a matter of fact, all the options are grayed out, save for the client tools. I'm using the September CTP. Thanks in advance, Anthony Rizzo, MCSE, MCDBA The Enterprise Edition of SQL Server 2005 requires "Server" edition of OS (Windows 2000 or 2003 Server) for SQL/AS/RS/IS, and only allows to install Workstation Components on XP.

• Windows Forms windows form stops responding during non-infinite loop

  Hi,I have a windows form that sends out a monthly opt in newsletter email to all of our community members. The problem is that the list is large, and every time I run the program it sits there appearing to be frozen. I have to watch the program under task manager and watch its resources to see if its running, and checking the queue mail folder for emails. This obviously is not a great way to run the program.In my code I loop thru a sqldatareader with 10's of thousands of records, and when its done I update the windows form with the counts of emails sent etc. How can I stop this form from not responding Is there something I can put in the l ...Show All
