Hello, Marc Clifton reports that MyXaml for .NET 2.0 is now available for download. Marc writes: I've completed updating MyXaml to run under .NET 2.0, as available in the Beta 1 release of Visual Studio 2005. All the examples have been updated to work with .NET 2.0. The browser demo had the most changes, as .NET 2.0 includes a WebBrowser control. Otherwise, the only thing that needed to be changed was to specifically call out the .NET 2.0 version of System.Windows.Forms, System.Data, etc., in the markup with a fully qualified name. I was pleasantly surprised to see the vector graphics clock come up without any problems, as with other assemblies that were built with .NET 1.1. The .NET 2.0 version installs as version 2.0.0.0 in the GAC (I couldn't think of a better version number), and will co-exist with your .NET 1.1 version. I have VS2003 and and VS2005 Beta 1 installed on the same development machine without any problems. The source code provided in the installation is the same as the .NET 1.1 release except for the addition of the "DOTNET20" conditional compilation symbol, which is necessary to handle some of the minor differences between 1.1 and 2.0. The biggest problem I've encountered is that some calls that used to return a null on error now throw an exception, requiring try/catch blocks. The only other minor problems involved obsoleted method calls, which have been corrected.
