A Question...

              If I code something with MS Visual Studio 6.0 will it run on 

a server running IIS 4.0?  I'm getting some strange errors. The code runs 

fine on my Win2000 box but not on the IIS 4.0 I'm putting it to.

It should run as Win2k didn't exist when VStudio 6 came out.





Mvh,

It should work OK as interdev is not really geared to a particular server

(-ish).



Please show us the code and we can see what the problem is.....

Normaly it will, i've got Visual studio 6 , iis4.0, and exchange on the same

server, got no problems at all..

if you use Visual Studio, you can write any code you like - it doesn't mean

that it will run anywhere...



<%

foobar(something)

I.response.idiot

%>



wont work on any server :-), well, none that I know of anyway.



If you are writing code that calls functions that are specific to ASP v3

(which only works with IIS v5, which is only available for Win2000), then

they wont work on IIS v4 (which uses ASP v2). Notable examples would be

server.transfer() and server.execute().



Also, MDAC v2.5 capabilities (eg ADODB.Record) aren't available until you

download na install MDAC v2.5 (www.microsoft.com/data)



Cheers

Ken

do you know if you are using the ASP 3.0 or ASP 2.0 in your coding?  That

could be making a difference.

If you're coding in VB or Visual C++, some of the underlying operating

system DLLs that are automatic references in your projects are different

versions on Win2K and will cause errors if you try to run an object compiled

on Win2K on a WinNT server.



What we've done here is set up a machine to dual-boot between Win2K and

WinNT.  Both have Visual Studio.  Compile the project on the OS version it

will run under.  Ken's advice also holds true for not using methods,

objects, properties, etc., that aren't available under WinNT.  That's where

compiling under the actual OS it will run on makes it easier to avoid those

"gotchas."



For those that assumed he was using Visual Interdev (and not VB or VC++),

how do you make that assumption since the original questions said Visual

STUDIO 6.0?

We assumed this because of the subject of the original email (although the

2000 bit is misleading)
