Question: If I make a program in VS 2003, will it be compatitable with VS 2005 and .Net 2.0 (VS 2003 uses .Net 1.1)?
VS 2005 can upgrade the project and depending upon what exactly the project includes you may have to do some manual converting as well. The same holds true for users of the program. Ideally if you made the program using VS 2003 then the user should have the .Net framework v.1.1 installed, however, the app may run on the 2.0 framework. There is no guaruntee of backward compatability so you are better off having users install 1/1 or upgrade the program to VS 2005 and have users run 2.0.
