.net x32 & x64 compatibility?

[Anonymous]

I know that with VBA there are issues going from x32 to x64..



Is the same true with .NET?



- will programs made in x32 function 100% the same in x64?

- can they be edited without ill effects?

- will programs made in x64 function 100% the same in x32?



I haven't tried myself (in case I break something).



anyone?

Simply issuing the VBAMAN command (without even loading a DVB) on a
64bit AutoCAD loads x64VBAServer.exe which slows down *everything* 5-8
times. VBA is poison on 64bit AutoCAD!

I'm doing all my work with references to the managed files from 2007
(obviously 32bit) and the built DLL seems to NETLOAD and run fine on
2008 & 2009 64-bit. You may be able to build on 2009 and have it work
backwards, but I don't know?

So while I'm no expert, I think if you built it for 2007 it should work
fine, at least until something new breaks that pattern.

Again, learning more about .NET will answer this and many other questions.

.NET is not native code, it is more like LISP in terms of how it executes (it is compiled at the point when it executes), so yes, it is portable between 32 and 64 bit.
