Dear friends
i have a repetitive question, but please help me.
we have an application which is developed by VS.2003.
Now we want to add more modules such as inventory management forms to it.
i was to know how it is possible to convert it to VS2005 and add more
modules using vs2005.
i never worked with vs2005 and dont know about ADO.Net 2, so please advise
that how much they differ and at all is it a logical task.

if i upgrade to VS 2005, then what will happen to my ADO.NET 1.1 codes?

Regards

In general terms, the conversion should be pretty automatic. You don't
mention which language(s) are used in your application, so it's difficult to
be more specific. For example, if you're using C++ .NET Winforms in your
application and wish to convert to C++/CLI in VS 2005, that would involve
substantial recoding.

You can continue working the same way you do, if you download the web
projects application from asp.net:

http://www.asp.net/downloads/teamprojects/default.aspx?tabid=62

Otherwise, you will see a few changes in the way things are organized and
put together (primarily partial classes).

WHen you upgrade, it allows you to save an old copy, you can backup
yourself, or both (preferred). Switching to master pages, if you go that
route, will take a bit of refactoring, but the rest of the new stuff does
not take a lot to get up and running in an existing/converted site.

Repetitive because you asked the exact same question yesterday. Do you look
at the responses you already got before simply reposting an identical
question?
