Mixing .Net v1.1 and 2.0 on the same website.

[Mufasa]

I have a website written in .Net 1.1. As part of it it has a virtual
directory that points so some web services. Currently the web services are
written in .Net 1.1 I want to convert the web services to 2.0. Can I do
this - have a virtual directory pointing to a different version of .Net than
what I have in the 'main' site or do I have to convert them both to .Net
2.0?

TIA - Jeff.

If the 1.1 Virtual Directory is an IIS Application, and it is in a separate
application pool in IIS, I believe it will work. Otherwise, your 1.1 app
should normally run fine under ASP.NET 2.0 with no modifications.

Convert them both.

You cannot have the same application point to 1.1 and 2.0.

John,
I hate to disagree but I have it working now. I have a 1.1 site with a
virtual directory to a 2.0 site and it works fine.

Thanks anyway.

You aren't using either application fully, then.

We went over this some time ago. See this discussion :

http://groups.google.com/group/micr...36ca5?lnk=st&q=&rnum=1&hl=en#f88ec60e18f36ca5

Web.config settings aren't inherited from 1.1 to 2.0, and they aren't inherited from 2.0 to 1.1.

Web.config settings *will* inherit from the root,
no matter whether the root is a 1.1 roort or a 2.0 root.

That causes conflicts with settings you don't want to be inherited.

Yes indeed - this is a disaster waiting to happen...
