[RESOLVED] Does VS.Net work with a newer .Net Framework version?

Hi,

Can a version of Visual Studio.Net be used with a .Net Framework which is newer?

e.g Can Visual Studio 2003 work on .Net Framework 2.0 ?

or Visual Studio 2005 on the newer version of .Net(not released yet) ?

I have both 2003 and 2005 (.Net Framework 2) installed on one machine and it is running and maintaining apps built in both systems fine.

VS 2003 cannot use the .NET 2.0 framework but 2005 will use both 1.1 and 2.0.

But both frameworks (1.1 and 2.0) will happily sit on the same machine...

Yes, you can have and should have both frameworks on your computer, but 2.0 will NOT work on VS 2003. You can only add v1.1 components to your solution in VS 2003.

So in your case, version 2003 can target .net framework 2 and utilize its new features?

Or is there both .net framework 1.1 and 2.0 on the same computer?

both frameworks are on the same computer, vb 2003 can not use the 2.0 framework

To clarify,

VS 2003 can only target version 1.0/1.1 in the IDE when developing apps, but when running an app, it will run on either of the framework version but the compatibility may break the app depending on what your app relies on.

All three versions of the framework can co-exist on the same system.

oh,ok

thanks, i get it now :p
