.Net Framework 1.1 and Visual Studio .NET

[B Letts]

I have an older version of Visual Studio .NET (it's at
least 2 years old - think I got it in Jan 2002). I
recently installed .NET Framwork 1.1 and .NET Framework
SDK 1.1. However, it doesn't appear that Visual Studio
will use it. When I go into Help-About Visual Studio, it
lists the following:

Microsoft Development Environment 2002 Version 7.0.9466
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 Version 1.0.3705

In my control panel, I see both the Framework 1.0 and 1.1
installed. If I remove 1.0, Visual Studio won't work
anymore. Reinstalling Visual Studio forces a reinstall
of .NET 1.0.

How do I get Visual Studio to use .NET Framework 1.1? Do
I need to upgrade? Or is there a fix?

There are hacks available to ge VS.NET 2002 to work with .NET 1.1, but
I think they're fairly grotty hacks. If possible, I suggest you upgrade
to VS.NET 2003. There used to be an upgrade offer which made it very
cheap - I don't know if that's still in force or not.
