which version to use?

Hi

I am about to develop an application in vb .net, but not sure which version to use. There are some existing programs in the company that use .net framework 1.1 and I was told if the framework was upgraded it would cause problems.

So I need to use framework 1.1 as well. In this case, should I choose vs 2003 or I can use newer versions?

Is it possible to create 1.1 applications in newer visual studio versions as well?

Does installing newer versions of Visual Studio automatically upgrade the .net framework on the development pc?

Thank you

you can run multiple versions of VS on the same computer and it wont effect the .Net Frameworks (they're all installed side by side anyways)

However, VS 2003 is the only one that can target the 1.1 Framework. VS 2005, 2008, 2010 all target 2.0 and up
