• .NET Development .NET version 1.1 and 2.0 co-exist?

  I recently installed .NET Framework 2.0 without removing version 1.1. I initially thought that like Service Packs, the newer version will overide the older version. Now in the Add and Remove applet, both version 1,1 and 2.0 are there. What is going on Should I remove 1.1 now that 2.0 is there You don't need to have 2002 and 2003 installed. .NET 1.1 applications will automatically run on .NET 1.0 Framework with ...Show All

• Visual C++ Documentation for struct RUNTIME_FUNCTION

  I have read the documentation in Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 for this structure but have noticed that it is not complete.  While it points out that the unwind info address must be a 32-bit offset, it doesn't say what it means when the offset is not to a 32-bit value.  That is, if I run dumpbin /unwindinfo on C:/windows/system32/kernel32.dll, there are many entries that are not 32-bit aligned.  So my question is, what do non-32-bit a ...Show All

So my question is: will it be disabled at some point Or will the software police kick down my do ...Show All
