visual studio 2003 application on windows server 2008

1.00/5 (1 vote)

WE have one windows application developed in visual studio 2003 using crystal reports as well and SQL server 2000 is on back end.
Our client wants to migrate this application on windows 2008 server and SQL server 2008.
Is it possible to install this application on windows 2008 server or there can be some compatibility issues?
One more question, does .net framework any version supports backward compatibility like application developed in .net framework 1.1 can run under .net framework 2.0 or 3.5 or 4.0?

thanks

For application compatibility you have to check on Microsoft site. .Net is supported backward incompatibility. e.g. Your application was developed in .net framework 1.1 and you can run this application on .net framework 2.0 successfully.

There could be some security issues on 2008 server. Some I/O operations might use privileged rights only even if user works with application from administrator account.
