Development Strategy 

Hi,

I'm just moving from my VS2005 environment to VS2008.

Can anyone advise on the following?

1. Is it OK to move to the .net 3.5 framework?
    I'm developing on a Vista Ultimate with IIS 7.0, so how do I switch to 3.5? [Currently set to the Classic .net AppPool]
    I also read that switching to Pipeline integaration was an advantage - Is this correct?

2. Mitch Sellars mentioned that the WAP development approach was good. I currently use the 'vlado' approach - that is, I have my module files in the DesktopModules folder of the DNN website and add the project file to the solution. This has working well - is the WAP approach better?  How do I do that?

3. If I can switch to 3.5 framework, I assume that I can also move to the 3.5 version of AJAX. Any problems with that?

If there was a single point of guidance for these questions, That would be terrific.... is there one?

 

thanks in advance

regards,
Duncan.

 

 

 

Given that

Re: Development Strategy 

Duncan,

There are no problems in upgrading to using .NET 3.5.  You will want to be sure to be on 4.8.0 or later as it has the fixes needed to run in pipeline mode.  You can simply change your virtual directory settings away from the Classic .NET App Pool to make the first step of the change.

WAP is done using a separate template, I find it easier as you get the ability to have post build events, solution files, and easily created .dll files for the modules, but not everyone likes working that way.
