After installing Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 on top of Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1, how can I use the later Framework version, with my already installed, VB.NET 2003 programs instead of the earlier one?
Any advice will be appreciated.

.net 2003 programs will only use the 2.0 framework if the 1.1 framework isnt installed

plus the vs.net 2003 IDE can't use the 2.0 framework either

this is microsoft we're talking about here, they're getting better but they're not that smart yet :p
 
hmmm I don't think you could make an older app (vs2003) work with a newer one. Why would the company do that? They want you to use 2005. Also you don't get the benefits of vs2005 if you're using 2003. I would suggest you upgrade because the 2005 IDE is just much nicer. Thats my 2cents
 
It's not a matter of wanting you to use VS2005... it's a matter of forward compatibility, which doesn't happen. You can make something bakwards compatible (VS05 using FW1.1) but not the reverse (VS03 using FW2.0)
