Doc Tool

Found "Build Comment Web Pages" has been removed from vs 2005, used it in vs2003 even not very satisfied. So got to NDoc, but find they are behind the world, still only support vs 2003 and .net framework 1.1. Downloaded NDoc's source code, compiled in vs 2005, but found need more time than I can offer to make it really work. STOPPED...waiting...

.net compatibility

I have Visual Studio 2005 installed in my laptop and trying to covert vs2003 code:
1) I found I cannot compile .net 1.1 code under 2.0, it can only create 2.0 code;
2) Most code get recompiled except one: Form.AutoScale property is obsolete and replaced by Form.AutoScaleMode;
3) I tried to run 2.0 client against old 1.1 server, it went through, and can get some data back; but failed when trying to save info, got exception 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Ticks must be between DateTime.MinValue.Ticks and DateTime.MaxValue.Ticks'

It seems, in general, recompile vs 2003 code under 2005 is easy, however have to run the code under .net 2.0.
