I had 1.1 code that ran on the 1.0 � runtime. I just had to be carefull not to use stuff that got introduced in � 1.1. Right, but with respect to the app you would still need to compile/target it for 1.0. Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic)

You just had to setup the config file to allow the older runtime. And you of course had to make sure you didn't use anything that wasn't in 1.0. You can't run 2.0 binaries on 1.1 or 1.0 because the metadata format changed to accomodate generics. And since 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 are all the same runtime no one has really needed that feature for a while... -- Tom Shelton |
