ASP.NET 2 Express
I have 2 questions about the express version.
1) Can i install it and keep my .Net 1 2003 version on the same computer without causing conflict? This will only be local host, when i upload to the server that will be a hosting issue and thats not what i'm worried about.
2) What is it exactly missing? In link1, i found out that i might need to upgrade to 2.0 to solve some issues i am having, however in link2, it shows what the express is missing. The specific example is "masterpages", but i am also interested in other areas. Does the basic functionality work (controls, web services......).

Concearning controls and web services, these are some of the most fundamental parts that make aspnet as nice as it is. Controls will definately be there but I'm not 100% sure on webservices... But then I see no benefit in them removing their support.

I just looked @ the video for masterpages and thats exactly what i'm after. I'll just wait a while to see if anyone has installed express aswell and then i'll give it a go. However you had 3 versions running side by side so i dont see a problem.
The only issue i can see is when you do go to http://localhost... which version of the framework does it use? My guess would be to use ports for that, but i wouldnt know how to set that up anyway,

"Before installing, you must uninstall any previous versions of SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, and the .NET Framework 2.0."
I'm running .net 2003 and sql server 2000 (both educ), it does say 2005's only though.

>> which version of the framework does it use?
In IIS each webapp can have its own application pool (this is something VS sets up by default). That means each dir can be running a different version of the .net framework. VS should set this all up for you, but you can modify the version through IIS manually by setting the application settions for a webapp.

Yeah I think if you have 2 versions of 2005 running they might interfe as they think they're the same product... That said I've had two copies of VS.net 2005 running and didn't have a pile up... But perhaps that because one was BETA...

It's installed, the old projects open up with 2003, and runs with .Net 1.
I think i like the new one that much fromt he quick 10 min play that i wont be going back. However if there's something simple that the express version doesn't have i still have something to fall back on.
Thank's heaps for the help EEE's
