Can VB 2003 use .net 2.0 framework?

Hi,

The VS.NET 2003 is bound to .NET framework 1.1 and cannot use .NET
framework 2.0 instead.

Visual Studio 2003 compiles to framework 1.1. The code can be run on a
computer only having framework 2.0, though.
 
Is this really true? My understanding is that if an application is built to
use 1.1 then it needs 1.1 installed on the target PCs.

IIRC no, but testing is required because there might be some
incompatibilities between .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0.
 
Thanks for the links, very interesting.

I had a user of my application complain that he only had 2.0 on his machine
and that the installer would not complete without 1.1 being installed. I
guess this may be an installer issue that I need to investigate; that was
what made me believe that I needed 1.1 on th etarget machine.

Again, thank you,
Sid.
