Can Data Extension built with VS2005 work with RS2000 ?

For various reasons our next release of our software needs to continue to support SQL 2000 and Reporting Services 2000. We are using a Data Extension written in C#.

Can we build a data extension in VS2005, using .Net 2.0 and have it work with RS2000. A quick test did not work.

Is this a valid / supported configuration ?

If it is, what steps, modification to the various configuration files would I need to make to get it to work ?

Thanks

Richard

No this won't work. RS 2000 will only work with .NET 1.1. Since data extensions will get loaded into the same app. domain, a RS 2000 data extension has to be built with .NET 1.1 / VS 2003.

|||What about the other way around? Will RS2005 Support extensions I built with RS2000?|||

You should update the references (e.g. RS 2005: MS.RS.Interfaces.dll) and recompile the data extension with VS 2005.
