Thanks, but is there no other (better) way to install the newer .NET
Framework 1.1 and work with it in Visual Studio .NET 2002 ??

For example in JBuilder for Java I can select which Framework I use.

Hello!

Can I integrate the .NET Framework 1.1 into the Microsoft Visual Studio ..NET
2002 Edition?

Yes. Sort of.

Next question: Should I? No, not in a million years.

It requires a very kludgy set up that is horribly bug ridden. While it will
not affect most apps, the IDE "randomly" blows up when you do this
combination.

Not convinced? You can go back in groups.google.com and see the method of
setting this up if you would like to try yourself. Once again, I do not
recommend it.
Because there are new classes like the FolderBrowseDialog Class
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html
/frlrfsystemwindowsformsfolderbrowserdialogclasstopic.asp) which only works
with the .NET Framework 1.1 respectively the MS Visual Studio .NET 2003
Edition.

Thanks!

Best bet is to move to VS.NET 2003.

The short answer is no. But, you can do a hack to make VS.NET 2002 work with
the 1.1 Framework. But, it is not worth the effort. Your best bet is to get
VS.NET 2003. Or use SharpDevelop with 1.1(free IDE).
