VS.Net 2002

[Kevin]

I have a chance to get a good deal on VS.NET 2002
Professional and hopefully somebody can answer a couple of
questions i have on it.

1) It says according to MS it supports Visual C++ .NET. Am
i correct in assuming this is C#?

2) Is this IDE a viable platform to create C# and asp.net
applications based on today's framework i.e 1.1?

I would try for VS.NET 2003 if you have the ability. Check upgrade path
before venturing into the 1.0 Framework (2002).
1) It says according to MS it supports Visual C++ .NET. Am

No, but C# is included. C++, VB.NET and C# are the three languages shipping
with 2002. There is also an add-in for Visual J#.
2) Is this IDE a viable platform to create C# and asp.net

No. It is aimed towards 1.0, not 1.1. Visual Studio .NET 2003 is what you
want if you are aiming for 1.1. Now, most apps you develop in 1.0 will work
natively in 1.1 without any changes. But, there are a few breaking changes,
esp. in XML.
