Justine,

That depends :) If you made use of classes or members of classes that were
added in 1.1 - then no, they won't work on framework 1.0. Also, you might
want to check out the breaking change list here:

http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/changeinfo/Forwards1.0to1.1\default.aspx

Now, assuming that you aren't affected by any of these items - then yes,
your code will run. In fact, I have a windows service that was written in
1.1 and running on the 1.0 framework right now :) If you look at the
solution settings, I believe you will see an option in VS.NET 2003 that
lets you specify the framework target. This doesn't change the compiler,
it simply generates and app.config file that specifies the framework
versions that the program can run on...

PS: I would be more specific, but I'm sitting on my Linux box right now -
so I don't have access to my VS.NET to give you specific instructions...
I'm sure someone else will jump in and give you the actual details.
 
Thanx a lot Tom....
