Basic VB .net question

[Darzil]

Least, I think it probably is.

Can I use classes added in .Net Framework 2.0 (System.Net.NetworkInformation, specifically) in Visual Basic .Net 2003, or would I have to upgrade to VB .Net 2005 to do this ?

If I can use them in VB 2003, how ? I've downloaded and installed the .Net Framework 2.0 SDK.

I'm self taught on VB, so whilst the actual programming tends to be easy, working out how to be able to access other classes, and some other configuration bits isn't.

Help !!

Take it as it is cause i started directly with VS2005 but:

is studio 2003 compatible with asp.net 2.0?

Answered: No. Each version of Visual Studio works with a specific version of the framework. So Visual Studio .net 2003 works only with ASP.NET 1.1, while Visual Studio 2005 works only with ASP.NET 2.0.

Logically same should apply for ze Framework.

As for relating to other classes on the Net Framework in VS2005 u got the Inherits and Imports commands (dunno if it is true in 2003 too).

Edit:

Think this cuts the proverbial head

Q: Sorry to keep pushing this questions but I really need Visual Inheritance in today in CE. Can I write code in VS2005 and have it work, for the most part, in VS2003? I would like to build by forms in VS2005 and get the code back so we can release it.
A: That would be nearly impossible, since the code generated by VS2005 uses partial classes that are new for .NET 2.0"
