Re: legacy app .net 1.1 using .net 2.0 component. is it possibile?

thanks.

will try porting the component to v1.1 as upgrading the main app is
impossible unfortunately :(

Not without updating the main exe to load 2.0, not 1.1; in fact, even COM
would fail if "in process" (dll), since it would still end up calling back
into the same process, and that is the issue. You'd have to *at the
minimum* go out-of-process (serviced components or SOA) - and it probably
isn't worth it.

.NET 2 (and the CLR2) introduces IL instructions that are not understood
in .NET 1.1, so .NET 2.0 code *cannot* run in 1.1.

Personally I'd try to move to 2.0 (or later), but I appreciate that this
is not always possible for various reasons.
