Why can not integrate .NET Framework 2.0 With MSVS 2003 ..?

[lin_xen_mung]

Dear All, I just tried to instal .NET framework 2.0 but why it can't integrate with MSVS 2003? Please answer me . . .? Note : I already uninstalled .NET Framework 1.1 but still not working...

One obvious reason is .NET 2.0 bring complete new syntax that VS2003 can't support. I think that MS might have an underground, unofficial and unsupported project to bring .NET 2.0 to VS2003. But anyway, why not try the free Visual Express Edition[^]?

Simple...It'll never work. Visual Studio 2003 work ONLY with the .NET Framework 1.1. You cannot use VS2003 with the .NET Framework 2.0. You can, however, install both .NET Frameworks 1.1 and 2.0 side-by-side, along with Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 side-by-side, and everything will work just fine.
