Start developing on the ‘new’ .NET Framework
The .NET Framework 1.1 Beta offers new and expanded code security features, integrated Mobile Web support, access to native ODBC and many other features.
While the increased security may be the most anticipated feature, the most developer friendly feature is the support for side-by-side execution. Now developers can install different versions of the Framework and code to them separately, making multiple development paths much easier.
.NET Framework 1.1 Beta can be downloaded at http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/productinfo/next/download.asp
