hi allll
i am very much new to vb dotnet development .i do have a windows 2000 server ,and few windows 98 client machines...

1) is there any posibility to develop vb dotnet solutions from 98 systems???
2) is there any editor which is installed in 98 system which compiles the code in 2000 system and brings back in 98 systm,so that we can do vb dotnet development in 98 systems???

suggestions needed....

Although .NET programs will run on Windows 98 (if the .NET framework is installed), the .NET IDE requires windows 2000 or later.
So if you want to develop VB.NET programs with the .NET IDE you can't use windows 98.

Maybe there is a third party IDE that runs on windows 98, but I don't know any. Or if you use the terminal server features of your windows 2000 server, maybe you could run the IDE on your server in a terminal server session.

as long as you have the .net framework isntalled, you can isntall SharpDevelop http://www.icsharpcode.net on 98. It doesnt have easy form editing like Visual Studio, but it is free and a good C#/VB .NET editor.
