    Hi,

     Actually I'm trying to move ASP.NET 3.5 and as I've to finish my project very soon, I was wondering when I finish my project, does my professor under ASP.NET 2.0, will be able to execute my project.

    Is there any possibilty?

     Thanks in advance for any advice

    Hi,

    if you used specific stuff from 3.5, no he won't be able to use that. Stuff like the Listview, linqdatasource, linq, datapager, any new stuff from C#3.0 or VB.NET won't compile on his Visual Studio 2005. So your professor needs to upgrade probably.

    Grz, Kris.

    Hi ,Thanks for your response.

    Did you hear about LINQBridge? Because I searched few days a go and it may help to solve this issue. Isn't it?

    Sincerely 

    Ali

    margbarje:
    LINQBridge

    I didn't hear of it before but apparently it could help you out to a certain degree. When you take a look at this page: http://www.albahari.com/nutshell/linqbridge.html, you'll see there, I copied the piece of information:

    Can I use LINQBridge with C# 2.0 and Studio 2005?

    You can—but the query operators will be awkward to use without lambda expressions, extension methods, query syntax, etc. 

    So I don't expect it to be able to completely provide all the features but if you're not using lambda expressions in your linq statements you could try it out. Install Visual Studio 2005 on your, or another, machine and try to open and build the solution. If it works than you're ok, if not you should tell your teacher to upgrade or recreate your own solution to be 2.0 compliant. 

    Grz, Kris.

    Hi,

    take a look here to learn more: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb397687.aspx.

    But like I told you before, the best thing is to open your solution with Visual Studio 2005 and see if everything compiles against the .NET 2.0 framework to be sure. That's the best thing to do at this moment. Don't let your work go down or make a fool of yourself in front of your teacher because of such a detail that you can check up front.

    Grz, Kris.
