.NET Connector v1 and v2

[Former Member]

I have recently installed .NET Connector 2.0 on my SharePoint server and I would also like to install the Sample SAP Web Parts that Microsoft released. However, these parts use .NET Connector v1. It only requires that the v1 assembly is in my bin directory. Will that cause any issues?

Hi Tim

Assuming that ver 2.0 is requested by the calling assembly, the web parts would use the .NET Connector 2.0 which are put into the GAC by the installer, else the runtime would probe for ver 1.0.

You can run the web parts and see if they execute without any issues.

However, in case you face any problems with ver 2.0 then you can instruct the .net runtime to use the ver 1.0, which as you mentioned is present in the bin directory. To do that u need to use the "Configure assembly" node under the ".net ver<xyz> configuration settings" in the windows control panel. Using this tool you can redirect all calls for ver 2.0 to ver 1.0.

So nothing to lose mate.
