.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / August 2007.NET v2 SP1 breaks some code
I fired up some .NET v2.0 code in Visual Studio 2005 and ran into compilation errors, where the codebase I had open was referencing its own "SortOrder" enum, and that was colliding with System.Data.SqlClient.SortOrder. The latter entry does NOT exist in .NET Framework v2.0, yet there it was, in my v2.0.50727 folder. As it turned out, Orcas Beta 2, which I also installed, does NOT leave .NET Framework v2 untouched when it installs. It replaces it with .NET 2.0 Service Pack 1 (which has not yet been released, but then, neither has Orcas). So much for the belief that installing Orcas side-by-side with Visual Studio 2005 in a production dev environment was safe. (I'm not sure how I convinced myself that it was; Microsoft never recommended it. *blush*) I am, however, really irked and annoyed that Microsoft does not versionize their own assemblies for the GAC. System.Data.dll shows up in the GAC as 2.0.0.0, and that is just sloppy, considering that they're overriding their assemblies with new versions. Back to DLL hell. Jon This gets hairier. Seems that SP1 doesn't get installed in the Vista environment. I came across the issue in Win2003R2, but I edited the same codebase from within a Vista Ultimate x64 VM which had vs2005 and vs2008 both installed, but no issue there, and no SP1 showing up in the VS2005 help splash screen. So apparently Windows Server 2003 R2 w/ Orcas installed will get a System.Data.SqlClient.SortOrder enum in .NET Framework 2.0, but Windows Vista w/ Orcas installed will not.

Report the above observation to the VS development team. That's why Betas exist - to find and fix small oversights like this.

Because the .NET 2.0 framework hasn't seen any servicepacks. FB > Mike Ober. > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > > > Back to DLL hell.
