[jigar.mail]

Hi,

I am wondering that will above mentioned combination can be used to
develop .NET applications?

Means is it possible to develop .NET 2.0 application using Visual
Studio 2003? Or do we have to use VS2005 only?

Thanks,
Jigar.

For the moment, the editions of Visual Studio are linked to a .NET
version. VS2002 = .NET 1.0, VS2003 = .NET 1.1, VS2005 = .NET 2.0.

There are possibilities to compile 1.1 code in VS2005 using an external
tool, but I never tried it. The contrary, however, is not possible.

However, if you wait a few months, you'll get VS2007 (codename Orcas)
which will allow you to select any .NET version you like.

For the moment, you can download one of the Express editions (free) to
work with .NET 2.0.
