[2005] Running 2 different .NET Framework in 1 machine

[michaelrawi]

I have a computer with VS2005 Pro and SQL 2005 Express installed. In the next few days, I have a project which MUST be made in VS2003 and SQL 2000. If I installed VS2003, will it affect my VS2005 and .NET Framework 2 ? Or should I remove my VS2005 first ?

VS2003 & VS2005 can happily share a same PC... Go ahead and install .Net 1.1 & VS2003, you don't have to uninstall 2005.

Thanks for the answer.

And for 2nd question:
Is there a way/trick to convert VB2005 files/project to VB2003. For what I know, I can just copy VB2005 class to VB2003. It's basically same syntax right ? But what about usercontrol, forms and components ? I've very little experience in VB 2002/2003 since I upgrade my VB6 skill to VB2005.

I have not tried this but its my understanding that as long as the code written in VB.NET 2005 doesn't use any of the 2.0 framework additions missing in 1.0 you can just copy the code including user controls, forms and components.
