Setting required framework version

Hello everyone,

I'm experimenting running side by side fw versions on a test box. One thing
i do not understand is how it is determined the version to use when running
an app. I wrote a very small proggy that just displays the version of the
framework it is run by. If i use vs2003 (with fw1.1) it displays 1.1.4322
which is correct, but HOW does it determine the version to use? Is there a
way to force the version used? How?

Thanx in advance
Paolo

Hello QDL,

To determine which version to use, you must :
- create a new configuration file (add new element -> configuration
file) is VS.NET.
- Add in the xml file
<startup>
     <supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />
</startup>
So your configuration file will look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
   <startup>
     <supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />
   </startup>
</configuration>
If the .net v 1.1.4322 is not available, it will try another version.

Regards.
