Beware .NET framework 2.0 SP1 (WebTab / WARP)
posted

We've encountered a problem with WARP and WebTab that seems to be what is documented by this post:

http://news.labs.infragistics.com/forums/t/2440.aspx

and a couple more like the post above pertaining to WARP.  We think that the async postback functionality of WebTab and WARP make them susceptible to a new error that manifests after installing .NET Framework 2.0 SP1.  These errors don't manifest under .NET framework 2.0 without the service pack.

 We have a support request in, if we could just get IG to take it seriously.  Seems they tested under .NET framework 2.0 without SP1, didn't see the error, and don't think there's a problem.  We've followed up with them to let them know about the problem being specific to SP1.  Hopefully, we'll see some response soon.

 To validate the SP1 issue, we created a test project under VS2005 and VS2008 using CLR 2.0 versions of IG ASP.NET 7.1, then ran it against machines configured with .NET 2.0, and .NET 2.0 SP1.  As I mentioned before, the problem manifests under SP1, but not under the non-SP1 2.0 install.

    Just a followup to this thread for general consumption.

     We have now confirmed that WebTab (and WARP?) behave differently under .NET framework 2.0 SP1 than under .NET framework 2.0 RTM (without SP1). 

     If you have installed VS2008, you may find that your .NET framework 2.0 HAS been updated to the SP1 release, and you may not realize that this has been done.  According to Microsoft, .NET framwork 2.0 SP1 is regarded as a prerequisite for .NET framework 3.5  on the same machine.

    If you want to ROLL BACK to .NET framework 2.0 RTM (non SP1) you must UNINSTALL .net framework 3.5, and then uninstall .NET framework 2.0 SP1 before you will be able to re-install .NET framework 2.0 RTM (non SP1).

     For more information on this, please see the following thread on Microsoft's support forums:
