using VS.Net 2003 with Framework 2 beta

[Gregory Khrapunovich]

I have installed Framework SDK 2.0. Unfortunately my
Visual Studio .Net 2003 doesn't see it. How can I make
use of new classes in my existing C# project? (I want to
use System.IO.Ports.SerialPort)

You can't.

If you want Visual Studio support for .NET 2.0, install a beta of VS2005.

In theory, it is possible, as it was in 1.0 and 1.1, to set up an old version
of VS to use a new version of the Framework. In practice, however, it causes
more problems than it solves.

You are pretty much stuck with either using Visual Studio 2005 ... or moving
to a text editor and command line compiling.
