Hi Steven

Thank you for the prompt answer, although you'll understand if I don't see
it as good news. One might expect users of IE to use hosted controls from
multiple sources and designed for various version of .NET, is there a way to
ensure they work in the future? Assuming new versions of the .NET framework
continue to contain a small number of breaking changes I don't see how the
system can work reliably without side by side execution of different
versions of the runtime. Have I missed something important? What's your
advice to control writers?

Regards
Mathew
