New and Enhanced Features in .NET Framework 1.1

This section describes technologies that previously were available as independent installations and are now included in the .NET Framework version 1.1. This section also describes key changes to existing technologies. ASP.NET Mobile Controls AS .NET !obile "ontrols #$ormerly the !icroso$t !obile %nternet Toolkit& extends the .NET Framework and 'isual Studio by providing supports $or mobile #wireless& devices such as cell phones and personal data assistants # (A)s&. The .NET Framework version 1.1 releases incorporates the mobile controls into the .NET Framework and 'isual Studio distributions. *ecause mobile controls are now a part o$ the .NET Framework+ the terminology has changed to match the conventions used in .NET documentation+ and the mobile controls documentation has merged into the larger .NET Framework documentation set. The name !obile %nternet Toolkit is replaced by AS .NET !obile "ontrols. AS .NET !obile "ontrols extend AS .NET server controls such that they adapt to the mobile device on which the ,eb application is rendering. Through browser detection+ the mobile controls con$orm to the capabilities o$ individual devices ranging $rom $ull-$eatured (A browsers to small+ .-line / 01character cell phone displays. This adaptive rendering $eature handles many o$ the tedious devicespeci$ic rendering decisions and $rees you to $ocus on your ,eb application logic. Chan es in A!".NET The .NET Framework (ata rovider $or 2(*"+ which previously was available as a ,eb download only+ now ships with the .NET Framework under the namespace System.(ata.2dbc. The .NET Framework (ata rovider $or 2racle now ships with the .NET Framework under the

namespace S#stem.!ata."racleClient. (evelopers using the .NET Framework version 1.1 can download the .NET Framework (ata rovider $or 2racle $rom http344msdn.microso$t.com4downloads. %n addition+ A(2.NET now includes the $ollowing $eatures3

The !ata$eader ob5ect now exposes a %as$ows property to determine i$ rows were returned without having to call $EA! method.

The Connection ob5ect now has an Enlist!istributedTransaction method to enable manual enlistment in distributed transactions.

Side&b#&Side E'ecution The .NET Framework version 1.1 supports side-by-side execution. Side-by-side execution is the ability to store and execute multiple versions o$ an application or component on the same computer. This means that you can have multiple versions o$ the runtime+ and multiple versions o$ applications and components that use a version o$ the runtime+ on the same computer at the same time. %n addition+ subse6uent installations o$ other versions o$ the .NET Framework or o$ a component will not a$$ect the applications already installed. For more in$ormation+ see Side-by-Side Execution.

Visual Studio.NET Best Articles Side-by-side execution does not imply that a managed application is compatible with other versions o$ the runtime or o$ a component. 7ather+ it means that a managed application can choose the runtime and the components it executes with+ and that multiple versions o$ the runtime+ applications+ and components can coexist on the same computer. %t is up to you to decide which versions o$ the runtime and which components a particular application will use. Chan es in .NET Framework Securit# %n version 1.1 and 1.1+ applications that receive less than $ull trust $rom the runtime code access security system cannot call shared managed libraries unless the library writer speci$ically allows them to through the use o$ the Allow artiallyTrusted"allersAttribute attribute. %$ you plan on using libraries $rom partially trusted code+ you need to be aware that some libraries will not be available to your code. %n version 1.1+ System.,eb.dll+ System.,eb.!obile.dll+ and System.,eb.7egularExpressions.dll are included in the list o$ assemblies that have the AllowPartiall#TrustedCallersAttribute and can be called $rom partially trusted code. For more in$ormation+ see 8sing 9ibraries $rom "ode. (e$ault security policy has been changed so that applications executing $rom the %nternet :one and assigned to the (nternet )one code group now receive permissions associated with the (nternet permission set. As a result+ applications $rom the %nternet now receive su$$icient permission to execute. %n the .NET Framework 1.1 Service ack 1 and Service ack 0+ such applications received the permissions associated with the Nothin see (e$ault Security olicy. ASP.NET Securit# in %osted En*ironments AS .NET now supports partial trust in ,eb-based applications+ o$$ering greater security $or multiple applications that are hosted on a single ,eb server. Although the operating system account under which an application runs imposes security restrictions on the application+ the code access security system o$ the common language runtime can help en$orce additional restrictions on selected application resources based on policy that you speci$y. ;ou can use this $eature in a shared server environment to isolate separate applications and with standalone servers where you want applications to run with the minimum necessary privileges. AS .NET provides a <trust= con$iguration directive that helps you con$igure code access security levels $or your applications. %$ your partially trusted AS .NET applications call shared managed libraries+ those libraries must contain an Allow artiallyTrusted"allersAttribute attribute that allows calls $rom partially trusted code. For more in$ormation+ see 8sing 9ibraries $rom "ode. (P*+ Su,,ort in the .NET Framework The .NET Framework version 1.1 supports the emerging update to the %nternet re$erred to as % rotocol+ commonly artially Trusted permission set and could not execute.
