Hi,
Is it possible to target a later version of the runtime version than the
ones Visual Studio 2003 supports? I would like to target the .Net 2.0
version. As this version comes preinstalled in the latest operating systems.
This would make deploying much easier.
Thanks Perry Langla

Sure; by using VS 2005 or VS 2008. Or simply "csc" or "msbuild" at the
command-line.
But VS 2003 cannot target .NET 2.0 AFAIK.

Try downloading the express edition of C# (2005 or 2008); it is free,
and should allow you to try what you want without issues.

And actually - deployment isn't the biggest thing; it would make
*development* easier ;-p

Further, a machine with .NET 2.0 will generally run a 1.1 app fine, so
I'm not sure how it would make deployment easier... it should already
work fine (unless you are looking to use ClickOnce etc from 2.0, which
obviously *would* make deployment easier)

I have tried to install the application on a computer with .net 2.0
installed. It gives me a message that program can not be installed because
..Net Framework 1.1.4322 is not installed. The Microsoft link that is given
is redirected to the .net 2.0 download page. I guess Microsoft is not
supporting .net 1.1. Also you asked why not upgrade. I have and my program
does not work correctly in Visual Studio 2008 Professional. I was just
looking for an easy fix before I rewrite my code to work in 2008.
