2.0 v 1.1

Is it worth upgrading to .NET 2?

I have been using 1.1 with C# and XML for about 2 yrs. It all works aside
from viewstate errors (after 10 mins of the Page being idle)

I have not used at all 2.0.

I have just started looking at the possible upgrade. My concern is spending
hours resolving config errors.

If you have no 2.0 assemblies, there's no reason to upgrade. Of course, 2.0
performs better, but I hesitate to state that a 1.1 aspx website will profit
from such improvements. The improvements are in new components. Old code,
will still use compatible 'old code' .
