using dot net 2.0

I am new to this so might not be asking the right question.

If I want to use .Net 2.0 how would I use it with the phile application. or to say if I want to compile against 2.0 what can i do to make the changes. thanks

Hello,

thePhile is built on .NET 1.1 so it uses only its functionality. I think you can't compile it using .NET 2.0 but I'm not sure if it's right or not. I didn't work with version 2.0 yet.
Thanks,

I dont see it being an issue, .Net 2.0 will give us the developer new tools to develop applications even quicker then we do now, but i am sure the MS ensure that it is backward compatible with older version, if they didnt then i would be very surprised. All 1.1 functionality should be in 2.0 even though new server controls such as the gridView(not entirely sure on the name) etc are coming in.

just my 50p

Thanks guys. but i thought C# version of thephile was written for 1.0 instead of 1.1 . I could be wrong. I was wondering if i built an application based on thephile and the production server only have .net 2.0 would it work? or do i have to make the application using 2.0. any light on this would be great help. thanks

It should compile fine in ASP.NET 2.0, however I'm not sure if it's wise to use this application in ASP.NET 2.0. The key advantages of this application are locked to the older ASP.NET architecture. There's no use of the 2.0 Membership features, Master Pages, Web Parts, etc.

The DataGrid isn't even on the toolbar in 2.0 - they want you to use the new GridView instead.

If you already have a website using this architecture, then it will work fine in 2.0. But I don't think I'd start with this architecture if you're looking at using 2.0 soon - you're better off getting a book on 2.0 and designing a new site using those cool features. It takes a *LOT* less code in 2.0, and you get more features for your end-users.
