See the following link for info about the differences between the different versions: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/compare re: "Can I still write 1.1 code"? Not really. Apparently, by default Visual Studio 2005 does not allow you to target version 1.1 of the .net framework. (Note I'm reusing this info from the response i sent to my manager when he asked a similar question) Visual Studio 2005 does come with an automated build tool called <BLOCKED::http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/teams/msbuild/default.aspx> MSBuild. The MSBuild has announced that <BLOCKED::http://blogs.msdn.com/msbuild/archive/2005/11/09/490817.aspx> MsBuild will support targeting the .Net 1.1 runtime. How will it? See this: http://blogs.msdn.com/clichten/archive/2005/11/08/490541.aspx <BLOCKED::http://blogs.msdn.com/clichten/archive/2005/11/08/490541.aspx> Short version: It will attempt to map v 2.0 assemblies to their v1.1 versions at compile time. V 2.0 however has a fair amount of "breaking changes" and I'm not sure how MsBuild will reconcile those. There are <BLOCKED::http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/changeinfo/v2.0/obsoletefaq.aspx> different classifications of breaking change (i.e.: deprecated, obsolete , obsolete-as-warning, and obsolete-as-error). Example: System.Web.Mail on msdn2 states :"The classes in this namespace have been deprecated. Use the <BLOCKED::http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.mail> System.Net.Mail namespace instead" More info (not sure if the info in these links overlap or they are distinct)

A: No, each release of Visual Studio is tied to a specific version of the .NET Framework. Visual Studio 2005 can only be used to create applications that run on the .NET Framework 2.0. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Appenzellar Sent: Tuesday, December 27, 2005 11:54 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] Microsoft Visual Studio Professional OR standard 2005? I see a big price difference between professional and standard 2005. Do you guys know the differences? I am currently using 2003 right now so once I go to 2005, can I still write 1.1 code?
