Using VS 2003 with DotNetFrameWork 2.0

[ALI-R]

Is there a way to make VS 2003 work with DotNetFramework 2.0?
I've recenlt downloaded "Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition Beta"
which installs .Net Framework 2.0 as well.I don't like its IDE (AS it is too
slow) and I was just wondering to use same IDE which I'm using now but
instead of .NetFramework 1.1 ,make it point to .NetFramework 2.0?

Thanks

No.

So if you download the .Net Framework 2.0 ,the only thing that you can do is
to write your programme in notepad and compile it using csc.exe?
Is that the only way to do that?

Thanks

No, VS.NET IDEs are wired to specific versions of .NET Framework and it can
not be changed:

VS.NET 2002 -> Net Framework 1.0
VS.NET 2003-> Net Framework 1.1
VS 2005 -> Net Framework 2.0

Actually, VS.NET 2003 projects can be targeted to either the 1.0 or the 1.1
Framework.

VS.NET 2003 always builds using the .NET Framework 1.1 assemblies, and you
can NOT change that. Another thing is that in the Project Properties dialog,
Build page, Supported run-times section, you can change the app.config to
allow the application to run on .NET Framework 1.0, at your own risk,
because you can get run-time errors if you have used methods or classes
specific of .NET Framework 1.1. Since the VS.NET 2003 compilers can not use
..NET Framework 1.0 assemblies, they can´t catch those errors at
compile-time. This is a risk so great that I would´t recommend to use VS.NET
2003 to create .NET Framework 1.0 applications (IMHO). I hope it's clear now
what I meant by "wired to..."

I knew what you meant, but your response was misleading. The fact is that
VS.NET 2003 "can" be used to create projects that will run in the 1.0
Framework. Whether this is a good idea or not was not the question.

I couldn't find what you addressed ,Project properties->Build page???? I
can't find build page!!!

 

[Scott M.]

Right click on your project in the Solution Explorer and choose Properties
Select the category on the left called "Build"
On the right there is a button (Change) for switching which framework
version you wish to target.

OK, granted.

Hi,I'm afraid there is no such a button for me ,I'musing VS 2003 version
7.1.00000 and there are only three groups as follows:
1)Code Generation
2)Error and Warnings
3)Outputs

Thanks

I have no idea what you are clicking on but it isn't what I suggested.

It's on it's way, but do yourself a favor and NEVER post your real email
address in a public forum like this because the spam-bots have most
certainly picked up your address by now. If you must post your address,
post it like this:

ScottREMOVE (e-mail address removed).

Hi Scott,

First of all thanks very much for your help,I got your screenshot and as I
guessed before ,this is not something in C#,because when I created a project
in VB.Net ,I can get that screenshot but not when the project is created in
C#.

Secondly :That's a temporary email address which is valid till only next
week (I knew whcih email I should mention;-))

Thanks for your help,I so appreciate it man,
