dotnet faqs : just installed 1.1 - now how do i use it?! =)

i have a VB.Net project that i began authoring under framework v1.0

i just installed 1.1* and now would like to start accessing the added
functionality of it, but whenever i check my references, they all still
point to 1.0 dlls.

i think i can handle manually re-setting the references to the 1.1 dlls but
is there an easier/automatic way to handle this?

is there some configuration setting to tell VS.Net to 'Use Framework Version
____'?

are there any dangers in upgrading to 1.1 in the middle of a project?

any insight would be much appreciated! THANKS! =)

-------
*thought i had done it a long time ago but reinstalled since some things
weren't working right. now i think i may have had it all along but maybe
never properly 're-referenced' my projects to it.

Not VS.NET 2002, no. It only works with v1.0 of the framework. You
should upgrade to VS.NET 2003 to target v1.1.

ouch! so there is _no way_ to use v1.1 methods in a project being designed
in VS.Net 2002?

my first impulse was to say "that's odd!", but when i consider the fact that
it forces all the 2002 users to upgrade (and consider who is the 'forced
distribution' mastermind behind this all), it doesn't seem odd at all... =|

don't people who aren't using VS.Net have the ability to target whichever FW
version they want? if so, how? (not that i am going to switch to
developing in Notepad, but i am just curious...)

thanks for the reply, Mattias!

Well, you can use VS.NET 2002 just for coding and debugging, and then
compile with the v1.1 command line compilers.

K. Shier,
In addition to Mattias's comments.

Today is the last day for the $29 (U.S.) upgrade to VS.NET 2003.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/howtobuy/upgrade/vstudio03/default.aspx

The upgrade has a number of IDE fixes in it in addition to support for .NET
1.1.

Hope this helps
Jay

to my dismay, i learned about this on the morning of October 1... thanks
anyway, though!

the main reason i wanted 1.1 is because i thought they either added or
restructured some things in System.Runtime.Remoting - an online code example
i wanted to work off of wouldn't compile under 1.0 framework. but i found
another solution to the base issue, so 1.1 is non-essential at the moment.

new IDE would have been fun, though...
