Visual Studio 2002 and Framework 1.1

[xxx]

Sorry if this is a repeat question, I've just joined the groups. Replies
will be forwarded to microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.

I am using VS.Net 2002 and have just installed Framework 1.1 on my machine.
I am developing an ASP.Net application. It is my understanding that VS.Net
2002 will only let me develop in Framework 1.0, is that true? When I deploy
my ASP.Net application, what version of the Framework will use if the target
server has Framework 1.1 installed? Should I install Framework 1.1 on the
production machine or would that be a waste of time if my application is
only using Framework 1.0?

Could I build my application in Visual Studio 2002 to make use of Framework
1.1?

Please help.

regards,
Raj

Use 1.1 on the servers. You should test and deploy exclusively on the most
recent version of the framework. You will get many of the 1.1 improvements
even if your code targets the 1.0 framework, since many of the improvements
are in the framework libraries or in the framework itself.

Your applicaion will be compiled to target the 1.0 framework, but if you
deploy it to a server which has ASP.NET 1.1 installed, it will run under the
1.1 framework. In fact your ASPX pages will be compiled by the 1.1
compilers into be 1.1-targeted assemblies. Your code behind will be
deployed as 1.0-targeted assemblies running under the 1.1 framework.
