Upgrade path from .NET 1.1 to .NET 3.5. How to do?

I use C# with the .NET 1.1 Framework for a Windows application. We have a requirement to upgrade it to .NET 3.5.

  1. Is it possible to upgrade the code directly to 3.5 (or)
  2. Should we follow 1.1 to 2.0 to 3.5?

Which method is more suitable?

Simply convert one of your projects to .NET 3.5 and see what happens. I would even suggest to use 4.5 since that will make your code more future proof. Start from the UI project and work your way down.

Usually your code will work. There are quite some adjustments made in the framework, so if you happen to use some deprecated feature, you need to rewrite your code. Usually the compiler sill suggest you what to do or read.

You would probably want to use new features introduced since .NET 1.1, like generic lists, etc. This will need a further review than just converting your code.
