Hi, am a student that is taking C#. The book that I am using is called Simply C# and it came with visual basic (standard edition 2003). At my school they recently upgraded to the 2005 edition. When I do my class work on the 2005 visual basic, then I take it home to my computer which has 2003, it says ( you created this with a new version and you are missing some files) can anyone help?
Hey,
Projects that are created in 2005 cannot be loaded into 2003 as they are based on two different versions of the .Net Framework (someone please correct me if this statement is not 100% accurate).
However, you are able to download the Express Version of 2005 from here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/
They are some fairly hefty downloads, if you take the MSDN library with it, but they are completely free and are well worth downloading!
Hope this helps!

Yes this is correct, Framework 2 and Framework 1.1 are completely different.
VS 2005 uses 2 and VS 2003 uses 1.1
So, you cannot load a 2005 project into VS 2003...You can do it the other way round as VS 2005 "upgrades" the source code to use Framework 2.
You can, as stated, download VS 2005 express editions for free from MS, which is a real bonus.
Would u expect VB6 to give an error if you tried to load a VS 2003 project into it? :p

So... are you using VB or C#? Did you really get a copy of Visual Basic with a C# book or do you mean Visual Studio?
I got both, and it came with msdn cds and the ms 2000 operating cd.Quote:
