Run BlueDragon.NET6.2.1 on .NET1.1 and .NET2.0 side-by-side

If you are running an application on BlueDragon.NET 6.2.1 you might want to run that application on both the 1.1 version and the 2.0 version of the .NET framework. The IIS administrator already has a nifty interface that allows you to switch between the 2 versions. Right-click on a website, choose Properties, then click the ASP.NET tab.

If you originally installed BD.NET under 1.1, it won't just work under 2.0. The trick is to uninstall BD.NET and then re-install and choose .NET 2.0 when prompted. Although BD.NET was "uninstalled", the installer should actually leave the necessary bits in place so you can now run BD.NET under both frameworks.

Note that if you have an existing 1.1 site, BD will be running under 2.0 because that was selected during installation. Go to the ASP.NET tab switch it to 2.0, then switch it back to 1.1 then everything will be running under 1.1. You can now set up a new virtual site pointing to the same directory as the 1.1 set and change the ASP.NET tab to 2.0. You are now the same site/code on 1.1 and 2.0.

This worked for me but of course this is unsupported and may totally break your setup so be careful.
