No. VS2005 will not target the 1.1 framework.

Hello everybody,

I have installed both FW2.0 and FW1.1 on my machine. I started working on
..NET technology just 4 months ago, and I've always been using the 2.0 but
for my last work my boss told me to check if it can run also on machine
having only the 1.1 version installed.
How can I compile on the 1.1? Can I "redirect" the compilation from
VisualStudio2005? Can I compile a VS Projcet from commadn line? Or can I do
it using (for instance) SharpDevelop?

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,

Chris, you are wrong, VS2005 can target the 1.1 framework:

Hi Lebesgue,
Hi everybody,

I read the post and tried to download the MSBuild Compatibility Toolkit but
the access is forbidden :-(

Thanks the same,

Well, he may have made it so *MSBuild* can compile a project for the
1.1 framework, but VS still only supports 2.0 of the framework. You
won't get appopriate intellisense for 1.1 in VS2005. You won't be able
to select 1.1 as a build target in VS2005.

So yes, while you might be able to invoke the 1.1 framework for
MSBuild, I still stand by my original answer.
