Jedhi Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I use .NET 2003 and I wanted to use "using System.IO.Ports" which is in the System.dll of Network Framework 2.0. I have downloaded Network Framework 2.0, and when I try to add the new System.dll as reference, I get the Error, see picture. Somebody experience the same thing ? And what to do ? I have not read that it could not be used for NET 2003...Environment.bmp Quote
Afraits Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 If its part of the framework isn't it referenced automatically? And as .NET 2003 points at the 1.1 framework by default and this is a V2 framework feature then there is likely to be be a compatability issue.

Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted August 16, 2005 Administrators Posted August 16, 2005 VS 2003 supports and targets the .Net framework version 1.1 (and 1.0) - it will not however work with the version 2.0 of the framework. You will either need to find an alternate solution supported on v1 or move your project over to 2.0.

Jedhi Posted August 16, 2005 Author Posted August 16, 2005 IO.Serial.Port Thanks alot. I was wondering if It was not supported by .NET 2003. Yet nothing was written, so I thought that it might maybe be something else. I was actually enumerating my ports on the system with EnumPorts, but then I discovered that I did not showed all my COM ports. For example I have an USB to RS232 converter, where it did not find my COM port, so I tried to look for another solution. Have any ? Besides IO.Serial.Port are there any other great things in .NET 2005 ? Quote

Jedhi Posted August 16, 2005 Author Posted August 16, 2005 Could you be more specific. What do you like in 2005 that does not exist in 2003 ? Quote
Administrators PlausiblyDamp Posted August 16, 2005 Administrators Posted August 16, 2005 From a language point of view : Generics, Anonymous Delegates, Iterators, more classes in the framework. IDE: Integrated unit testing, integrated fxcop, integrated refactoring support, better intellisense, visualisers for debugging. Vastly improved web development: Master pages, new security controls, new navigation controls, personalisation, themes, better data base integration, vastly superior databinding capabilities, more flexible security model. Windows development: Menu strips, tool strips, improved data grid. Data Access: Datasets more useful, many dataset features now supported at the datatable level. For starters.

Jedhi Posted August 16, 2005 Author Posted August 16, 2005 Thanks I'm downloading a beta version to give it a try. Do you know why EnumPorts does not find the two COM port that you find in a USB to a RS232 converter. Device Manager finds it ! Quote
IngisKahn Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 You forgot the best thing: Edit and Continue! Addition IDE improvemets: ClickOnce Smart Tags Code Snippets Exporting IDE Settings Line Revision Marks Temporary Projects Docking Window Changes Another language feature: Partial Classes And to say that there are more classes in the framework is an understatement :), it has been vastly improved. A simple web search would turn this up. Quote "Who is John Galt?"
