.netframework backward compatable

Just wondering if anyone knows if the .net framework is
backwards compatable? Should .NET apps developed in vers
1.03 work ok for version 1.1 .net framework? THanks Paul

No, you should never assume that. I've run into problems...there were
certain things that were tweaked, that if you use those parts of .NET,
it can cause compatability problems. For the most part, they've tried
to keep it compatible, and 95% of it is, just certain upgrades, tweaks,
etc. in the framework have caused problems in 1.0 apps.

You should do a full regression test of your app before deploying it in
1.1...in practice, this should always be done anyway, for any software
being upgraded (or the framework or JVM, whatever you're running on)...

Nope
You either need to recompile for 1.1 or install the 1.0 framework on the
client PC.
