Hello, I just have a really simple question, if an
application is developed using Visual Studio .net 2002
not 2003 does it still require .Net Framework 1.1 to
execute? Or is the .Net Framework 1.1 only a requirement
of the 2003 version?

Thanks,
Sean

If you develop with VS.NET 2002, you only need the 1.0 framework (VS.NET
2003 can't target the 1.1 framework).

If you develop with VS.NET 2003, then it depends. VS.NET 2003 can
target both 1.0 and 1.1

I think you meant VS.NET 2002 can't target 1.1 framework ;).

By targeting, all it does is create an app config file that tells it which
version of the framework to use. You'll still end up with runtime problems
if you compile with VS.NET and accidentally use a feature that's only
available with the 1.1 runtime :(.

You can compile in VS .NET 2002 and run on either the 1.0 Framework or the
1.1 Framework for most apps. There are some differences that may cause
problems, so 1.0 is the safer alternative.
