Effect on exisitng ASPNET 1.1 applications of updating to ASP.NET 2.0

[John Morgan]

I am using Visual Studio 2003 and have half a dozen applications
running happily using ASP.NET 1.1 on my local network.

Could someon assure me that if I upgrade to ASP.Net 2.0 then the
existing applications can still be further developed in ASP.NET 1.1
using VS 2003.

In other words I am looking for assurance that ASP.NET 1.1 runs
independently of ASP.NET 2.0 when both versions are installed in the
same computer.

I am assuming that VS 2003 cannot handle ASP.NET 2.0

My apologies if this rather simple and obvious question has been
asked before but to my shame I have not looked into this newsgroup for
a long while,

Best wishes, John Morgan

I don't think anyone can assure you this will be the case. However, that is
supposed to be the case and, most likley, you won't have problem and if you
do have one or two, you can probably just do something a little different to
get it working.

Should be easy for you to try though.

For what it's worth (and assurances from a newsgroup aren't worth that
much) I can confirm that ASP.NET 2.0 and 1.1 work independently of each
other. In IIS you can select whether you want a given website to run
under ASP.NET 2.0 or 1.1.

VS2003 will not support .NET 2.0. You have to upgrade to 2005 or
abandon the IDE for a text editor and msbuild. ;-)

Absolutely.

ASP.NET 1.1 and ASP.NET 2.0 can coexist without problems.

There's one major caveat, related to running ASP.NET on IIS 6.0 :
You *must* run 1.1 apps and 2.0 apps isolated from each other in different Application Pools.

You don't need to worry about that on IIS 5.0 and/or IIS 5.1.

Thanks for those helpful replies, will get on and upgrade to ASP.Net
2.0
