Upgrading to .Net Framework v2

[Simon Harris]

Hi All,

I am currently developing a number of projects which are published with a
few different hosting companies.

I wish to upgrade to v2 of the framework on my development machine,
problem
is that none of the hosts we use currently support v2.

Does anyone know if Visual Studio 2003 will be made 'aware' of v2 when I
install the framework, or will it only give me the 1.1 options?

I guess I'm talking about intellisense. I want to avoid, or at least know
when I am using something from the v2 framework that may not work when I
deploy it.

Thanks,
Simon.

VS 2003 can be made 'aware' of 1.0 and 1.1, but not 2.0. That is why you'll
need VS 2005 for 2.0.

Thanks for your reply. Understood, but what I am asking is will I end up
having to find a hosting company that is offering .Net Framework v2 support
(Changing hosts right now is not an option), or can I install the framework
on my dev machine, and happily code away in VS 2003, knowing that it will
only allow me to utilise v1.1 compatible code?

Both tools can be setup side by side, a non converted project will stay in
1.1.

Asp.Net 2.0 has also his own mini web server, it can be setup on XP Home (no
need for IIS for development).
