Question regarding Microsoft visual Studio .NET 2002

[Balthazar]

So I decided to get back into C# recently and I was writing an app in VS .NET when I realized, oh look, things like System.Management aren't valid and it wont compile my programs that use them (even though other things like SharpDevelop and the csc.exe will just fine) and I realized stupid VS.NET is using the 1.0 Framework.

Now, going through MS's website sucks MAJOR league. And I couldnt find any way of updating it to use the 1.1 Framework (which I have installed). Does ANYONE here know how to get Stupid VS.NET 2002 to see and work with the 1.1 Framework? It will be a cold day you know where before I shell out craploads of money to buy ANOTHER version of VS.NET just to support the next extensions.

Thank in advance (this is why I HATE MS languages).

just change the reference from 1.0 framework to 1.1 framework? that's just a guess

 

[Balthazar]

What do you mean change the reference?

 

[Balthazar]

Well, that fantastic, found a couple references around the web saying that VS.NET 2002 CANNOT compile 1.1 apps....fantastic....more money than I care to consider flushed down the toilet...

Yay microsoft....I really could not be happier.

balthazar, that doesnt make sense, i'm almost positive i used VS.net 2002 to build 1.1 apps, i've moved on to 2003so my memory might be wrong.

btw, is your nick a reference from galaxy quest?

Actually your both wrong. Its just a name.

And all I can go by is what I've read, and these are two of the links I've found.

Linky 1
Linky 2

Hmm...if you don't want to shell out the $$ to get VS 2003, use SharpDevelop

 

[Balthazar]

Eh, all I want is an expensive piece of software thats not going to be trash after a year or so.

you're not gonna get that with Microsoft. They're too hardworking at releasing an upgrade
