• .NET Development All versions of Framework?

  I'm not sure which forum to post this question in ... none of them seem right. We are migrating our 1.1 WinForm app to 2.0. Our app uses a few third-party .DLL components. At least one of these is compiled under the 1.0 Framework. I have two questions, I guess. First, will an app that was compiled under 1.1 run under 2.0 I was under the impression that it would not, so I wanted to load the 2.0 runtime on a clean machine and see if t ...Show All

  hi! I'm I a bit of a soup here. I'm trying to use a module to return a value from a dialogue box (not an input box), but I'm hazy over what EXACTLY I'm going to put down in code.

Or-if returnig a value without a module is possible then could yo ...Show All

• .NET Development C++/CLI linked with win32 dll's in C# (msvs2005)

  Hi! I'm making a GUI for an engine I'm working on. The engine is separated into two win32 dll's and the GUI is supposed to be written in C#.
