VS .NET 2002 vs 2003

I've recently installed Visual Studio 2003 on my development computer.
But so far I've yet to use VS 2003 and .NET Framework 1.1 in any real
projecs.

I have several projects and customers running both WinForm and ASP.NET
applications that were developed in VS 2002 and are running on .NET
Framework 1.0 (patched).

My questions are:

Will projects (assemblies and .exe's) compiled in VS 2003 automatically
be built against Framework 1.1?

Will projects (assemblies and .exe's) compiled in VS 2003 run under
Framework 1.0?

Are there any way in VS 2003 to specify if target is Framework 1.0 or
1.1?

Is this really an issue at all, or does everything just magically work ?
:)

In the long run I will get my customers to upgrade to 1.1, but so far
things are working fine, and I see no real reason to upgrade.

Hi,

I installed a Windows service, developed on a machine with VS 2002 and .Net Framework 1.0 and 1.1 installed (i.e. compiled using
Framework 1.0), on a machine with only .Net Framework 1.1 installed, and it ran fine. Depending on what functionality you use in
your application, it will most probably be backwards compatible, unless you use 1.1 specific functionality.

As for changing an app to use 1.1 libraries, if you change a reference in your Project Explorer to one of the assemblies used to
the 1.1 assembly, you should get a prompt that all the libraries from the 1.0 folder will now reference the libraries in the 1.1
folder, and VS will then automatically use the new libraries. Simple as that.

This should cover your queries, methinks.
