No, the old IDE runs under Framework 1.1, even if you install 2.0. This is
expected behavior.

Can I somehow reference Framework 2.0?

If you mean reference it (Framework 2.0 Beta1) from VS.NET 2003, the answer
is no. You will need VS.NET 2005 Beta1, or , depending on what language you
are programming with, you can download one of the Express Betas, like:
Visual Basic.NET 2005 Express Beta1.

The Express products can use 2.0 in development. It is likely you can also
kludge up Visual Studio 2003 and do "some" development in the older IDE.
This will mess up your IDE, if the kludges to make VS .NET 2002 work with
Framework 1.1 are any indication. The kludges included some reg hacks, which
can get rather nasty. My advice is download the beta and install it on
another machine (or in a Virtual PC).

Thanks, based on the advice, I believe I will check out the Express
downloads.
