Aside from the difference in getting the CLR version installed (20-40meg vs. 5 meg), and the lack of backward compatibility, .Net also gives developers the ability to _turn off_ backward compatibility, which appears to be what happened here.
To claim, with an exclamation regarding the presence of bovine excrement, that there is no difference, disregards the obvious, important, and noxious differences. BTW: it's not a VS2005 vs. VS2003 difference, really. It's about the .Net version (which can be accessed independently of VSxxxx, q.v. ReSharper, Notepad, etc.) Best regards, Hank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen the Cook Sent: Friday, June 23, 2006 9:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: VFP Com Interop with .NET (revisited) Hank Fay <> wrote: > In .Net (as Stephen the Cook apparently does not understand), one can > specify that a specific version of the runtime must be available in > order for an assembly to run.

What don't I understand? This is a version VS2005 vs. VS2003, much like you presenting a VFP8 or VFP9 application.
