Can you downgrade a compiled app?

If I have an app developed with the .NET framework v1.1, is it possible to downgrade it so that it will be compatible with v1.0 also?

 
There is not a wizzard like there is for 1.0 to 1.1 but you should be able to create a new project in VS2002 and then add the files needed to it. It will give errors on anything not compatible with VS2002 (Example System.Data.ODBC)

mmm the app has been developed with VStudio 2003 :¬/

how about if I don't have VStudio 2002??
 
tekhed,

you can force the app to use the 1.0 dll's. Check in the app.config file. It does it by default vs 2002. if i find how to do it i will post it.

tekhed,

Here is a way to force it. i do not know if this works in 2003 but it should.
<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot; ?>
<configuration>
<startup>
<requiredRuntime version=&quot;v1.0.3705&quot; safemode=&quot;true&quot;/>
</startup>
</configuration>
HTH,
