Before I upgrade to VB2005...

[Scott H]

I've heard I can have VB 2003 and VB 2005 on the same PC no problems.
What I want to know is can I continue to develop 2003 apps that use
..NET1.1 without any problems too, so that I can gradually migrate up to
2005 and .NET2

Also, as there's some Development environment improvments, can I carry on
doing 2003 and .NET1.1 inside the new 2005 environment?

Thanks in advance for any info,
Scott

Hi Scott,

There has been a lot of confusion about this, so you're certainly not alone
in wanting info on this. Please see answers inline, please.

Yes, this is not a problem.

I'm afraid that's not possible.
