Hi all,

Problem : Created an assembly in VC 2005 express but could not reference
it in a VS 2003 project. I understand that 2005 targets the .NET 2.0
framework and 2003 uses the 1.1 [I'm assuming this is my problem??].

Question : Can I create an assembly in VC 2005 express that targets the .NET
1.1 framework and consume the assembly in VS 2003?

Thank You,
M

Correct.

No, 2005 targets only .NET 1.1.

D'oh!

Of course, I meant 2005 targets only 2.0...

-cd

I really wanted to hear something like a combination of both (maybe a
nifty compiler switch)... Oh well... Now it's my turn to use some
'Homer-isms'.

Thanks Carl,
