visual studio .net ide : How to use VS.Net 2002 with Net Framework 1.1

Hi,

I have VS.Net 2002, and I want to use it with Net Framework 1.1 (for a web
application)
I installed Net Framework SDK 1.1 on my system.
But when I open menu Help -> About in VS Net menu, I see it uses Net
Framework 1.0, instead of 1.1

Can I set it to use Net 1.1?
Also, how can I use ASP.NET Mobile controls with VS Net 2002, and install
them in my toolbox?

Thank you

I think the answer is to install VS.Net 2003. You can use both on the same
box.
I cant see how Vs.Net 2002 could possibly work with framework 1.1 - thats
what 2003 is for.

meanwhile, I can't see why it shouldn't...

(doubt my terminology is right, but...)

aren't the managed languages just a 'layer' on top of the IL?

and if so, why should the IDE care what version of IL you are targeting?

I can understand it failing to support features that require deep
integration between framework and IDE, but for simple coding (i.e. just
using it as a text editor, basically), why shouldn't it work?

[still bitter after having learned about the '$29 upgrade to VS.Net 2003'
promotion the day after it expired! >:( >:( >:(]
