sql server msde: I was looking at the install requirements for SQL Express. It says that
the 1.2 runtime must be uninstalled to use it. Is that true that the 1.2 and
2.0 frameworks can't co-exist?
Can Express be used from a 1.2 app, or must we switch to 2.0? I need to
update a single user with our current app, but was not planning on switching

Hi

The 1.2 framework was re-branded as 2.0 early in the beta process.

You must be reading some old documentation where it was still being referred
to as such.

hi Chris,

AFAIK fwk 1.2 and 2.0 can coexist on the same machine..
SQLExpress can be accessed from VB 6.0 ADO apps and .Net 1.2 ADO.Net client
as well.. of course these 2 models can not access the new fks 2.0's features
(varchar(max), MARS, ...), but you can access the server...
(for VB 6.0 [COM] using SNAC have a look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbrun/vbfusion/usingsqlexpress/default.aspx)..
