You won't be able to open 1.1 projects in
VS.NET 2005 without converting the projects
to the new project format.
Once you do that, you won't be able to open
the projects in VS 2003 any more.
You CAN install both VS 2003 and VS 2005
in the same box and run them, but be aware
that converting your projects to VS 2005 will
make them lose compatibility with VS 2003.
You can run both ASP.NET 1.1 apps and 2.0 apps
on IIS 6.0, simultaneously, although you will need to
place your 1.1 apps and your 2.0 apps in separate
Application Pools.

We have some 1.1 sites developed in dreamweaver and we will be developing
all new sites for the 2.0 framework when it's out of beta. We just
purchased an ms subscription and will be using visual studio for
development
now. I like whidbey a lot more than vs.net 2003... can I skip learning
2003
and just use Whidbey to maintain our 1.1 sites? There are no project or
solution files to convert since we developed everything in dreamweaver
initially, so we'd be creating them all from scratch. Anyone have
experience using whidbey for 1.1 web apps? Thanks.
