Thread: For a Newbie, 2.0 or 1.1?

*shudders, 300$ for a hobby?

I dunno, for 300$ id much rather put it to different use and go with opensource software like this Sharpdevelop and Blender (3d modeling for the cost of nothing). 50$ i might be able to deal with, and if i was producing software i was selling 300$ wouldent be bad at all. But dayum, i'm broke right now and doubt i'll be making software for sale lol

I sure am happy that i have msdna ( at college ) from where i can download all these things for free .

One question referring 1.1 Framework and 2.0, .. well two.


1.) Do i need anything other than the .NET 1.1 SDK to code and compile it? (Ie, do i need the .NET Framework itself, not 1.1 SDK?)

2.) Does someone using my software need any .NET Framework? Like is it default with windows, or does someone HAVE to have WinXP Service Pack 2? Or is it just another language that is compiled and run off of things like Win32 API.


I just want to know what all i, and my users, need to run it (and compile it for me)

Thanks

Technically, you can compile with just the 20mb framework redistributable download (you don't need the 100mb SDK).

• Windows XP Professional*
• Windows XP Home Edition
• Windows 2000*
• Windows Millennium Edition (Windows Me)
• Windows 98
• Microsoft Windows NT® 4.0 Service Pack 6a

The .NET Framework is not installed with Windows, and must be downloaded seperately. When Windows "Longhorn" ships .NET will be included. It is also included with Windows 2003. Most XP users may already have it installed (it now comes with some programs or motherboards). Also, you can always bundle it on your CD.

So all i need to download is
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframewo...work1_1redist/

And with that and like SharpDevelop i can make entire C# Programs?

Please tell me if thats so, and if not, i need the 100Meg SDK right? (the only one labled as SDK..)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en


But i am going to download the first link i gave..
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframewo...work1_1redist/
and go with Developers..

Please answer exactly what i need to build and run lol. Because i was under the assumption i needed the SDK to build a C# Application.
Thanks!

man.. i was under the impression i NEEDED the SDK to PROGRAM/COMPILE/WHATEVER C#!

Which is awesome, that means tomorrow i can install the framework redistrabution, download sharpdevelop, and start learning!

I'll still download the SDK but since i can code without it, i can take my time and do it over a few more days.


Damn 56k, lol . *chants to himself, soon i'll be back on cable.. soon..

k kool

Hopefully CSharp will head to 2.0, or i might be forced to buy the Visual 2005.

But i'm an opensource kinda guy, i like helpin the little people hehe (*ponders why he is aiming for a State IT job which is controlled by microsoft.. sheesh.. lol*)


*edit*
And oh ya, btw, C# is working Great!

I'm running 1.1 (because i am still under the impression 2.0 doesent work for SharpDevelop), and ofcourse, #Develop!

Thanks again all!
I'll be downloading the 1.1 SDK slowly, mostly so i can get the documentation, and i'll prob go 2.0 Asap once either the full version is released, or #Develop supports it. Whichever comes first.

Thanks Again!! And expect to hear from me soon, as i'v gotten ahold of a few tutorials and need to ask a few questions regarding new C# features, just to get ahold of the feel of them. (ie Jagged Arrays, Namespace heirarchy(sp?), ect., just stuff thats either new/edited/or i dont remember in C++ lol)
