I am using Visual Studio 2002 & i want to upgrade my existing projects to
use frame work 1.1. How can i do it. More over when i start a new project &
then add refrence to it then it takes refrence from older version of frame
work rather than latest version. How can i change the default path for the
refrence property of the project.

Thanks and Regards,
Nitin Sareen

In the solution explorer click on the project, then on
the properties pane, click on the property pages button.
From there you can navigate fairly easily to the
ReferencesPath screen. You can add new paths there. Be
careful though - I got that far, only to discover that
the forms designer loses its marbles and complains that
it can't "design" System.Windows.Forms.Form

Great eh?! Anyone got any suggestions? At the moment, I'm
even considering implementing FolderBrowserDialog myself!

You will have to upgrade to VS.NET 2003 in order to write .NET 1.1
applications.

That's not really what I wanted to hear. I spend enough
of my days arguing with Linux advocates that I really
don't want Microsoft to have shot themselves in the foot
like this. After the much-trumpeted end to versioning
problems, this will be hard to live down. I'm not going
to give up just yet though - I reckon I'll try fiddling
with the configuration files. There's an awful lot of
configurability built into this software - it might just
be a matter of finding how to do it. Or should I take it
from your MVP tag that you are speaking for Microsoft and
that you have insider knowledge?

The closest you'll get to compiling .NET 1.1 in vs 2002 is to use it as an
editor and compile on the command line. You could also look at build tools
such as nant.. but vs 2002 does not natively support the .NET 1.1 framework
(as far as I know -- there've been a number of threads on it with no real
resolution to the problem short of upgrading).

Just when you start to think Microsoft aren't all that bad they come up and
hit you with something like this.
