I am preparing to upgrade a VS.NET ASP.NET project from version 1 to version
1.1.

1. Is it as simple as opening the project in VS.NET 2003?
2. Are there any issues to be aware of aside from not being able to open it
in VS.NET 2002 after the upgrade?

Thanks in advance!

The project file (.csproj) will be incompatible. I heard someone say you can
fiddle with it to get to work in 2002. But unless you use classes that have
changed in the new version, you should be able to use your pages, code,
datasets, etc. in the old version. I'm not aware of any serious issues in
1.1 requiring changes to code or anything, but anyone feel free to correct
me.

Brooks,

I have another inquiry along this lines but a bit different.

Is there a way to use VS2003 and target the apps for just Framework 1.0.
I'd like to use my VS2003 but I can't find any options that permit me to
compile, set-up/deploy for just the 1.0 Framework without using some app
config method with XML files. Am I missing something here ?

Fritz,

You do need to use the application configuration file to specify the
framework version you want to support. It is easier to take an app
developed against version 1.0 and have it target 1.1, but you can target 1.0
instead.

Here are two MSDN articles discussing side-by-side execution. The first is
just a general description with links to additional resources, the second
covers how to target different versions of the framework.
