VS2003 Compile

[Jeff]

If I am using VS2003 is it possible to compile a project in ASP.Net 2.0 or
will it always compile in 1.1?

Thanks

1.1 baby! You might be able to trick it to 2.0, but it would not be worth
it.

Hello Jeff,

Yes, as Gregory has said, Visual Studio .NET 2003 is dedicated to
developing .net 1.1 applications.

As for your scenario, is there any particular restriction that require you
to compile an ASP.NET website in vs 2003 or develop ASP.NET 2.0 website in
vs 2003? If you do not want to install a full version of VS 2005, you can
consider download and install the Visual Web Developer express edition
which is a light weight one dedicated to ASP.NET 2.0 web application
development.

Also, if you already have an complete ASP.NET 2.0 website and just want to
precompile and deploy it, you can use the aspnet_compiler.exe tool to
precompile it. This is installed with the .net framework 2.0

Please feel free to post here if there is anything unclea or anything I
missed.
