Re: net 3 replaces net 1?

Gosh, Cor. I hope I didn't mis-speak.

I did not verify my statements with official product support teams and, as
always, you should take my statements to be those of a single, quite
fallable, but helpful individual who works for MS but is not paid to perform
my duties on this forum.

Can you help me to understand exactly what message you feel that I have
stated but that you disagree with? Perhaps I have not been clear, and the
last thing I'd want to do would be to mislead or misinform you or anyone
else on this board.

Nick,

Were did you check this, at office. I hope (and know) that this is not an
official message from Microsoft.

I am really very much in doubt if it is true, Microsoft has promished with
the start of the frameworks that they would not create again a new kind
and even worse DLL hell., It would be contantly downwards compatible, we
the exception of the development part. What is logic, because than it
would be in fact upwards compatibility..

Peter,

Are you sure of that?

Peter is correct. If an app is compiled for 1.1, and you are a 'user' of
that app, then you have to keep 1.1 installed on your machine. If you
are the 'author/programmer' of that app, on the other hand, you can
install a newer version of visual studio, recompile, and then consume
.net 2.0 or .net 3.0 (which is the addition of a slew of classes to .net
2.0). In that case, the new DLL you create would not need .net 1.1.


In my idea would 2.0 replace completely version 1.x the problem is that
there are some bugs in that area or better no backward compatiblity of
old bugs was concerned in.

I think you are asking why some issues were not 'addressed' when 2.0 was
released. The reason being that those issues are nearly all involved in
"tradeoffs in behavior."

In other words, a class could behave in mechanism (1) or mechanism (2).
Mechanism (1) was chosen and has side effect (x). People who don't like
side effect (x) would prefer that MS had chosen mechanism (2). However,
other developers who don't experience side effect (x) or don't care about
it have written code that depends on Mechanism (1). Therefore, switching
to Mechanism (2) in the 2.0 version of the framework would break
backwards compatibility.

There are always tradeoffs. That is life. I think the basic premise
goes something like this: You are always free to write a new class that
implements Mechanism (2) and make it available as part of a third-party
library. MS had to pick one. Picking two is bad.


Maybe is that the reason that I get now on bug reports to much messages
in my eyes that say that they cannot be resolved because of backward
compatibility.

Cor


I hope that helps,
