Does Visual C# 2002/2003 work with .NET 2.0?

Does Visual C# 2002/2003 work with .NET 2.0?

  No Visual C# 2002 will not work with .NET 2.0. Visual Studio versions are tightly coupled with the .NET versions they are released with.
  
  Visual Studio 2002 -> .NET 1.0
  Visual Studio 2003 -> .NET 1.1
  Visual Studio 2005 -> .NET 2.0
  
  You can run .NET 1.0 applications on 1.1 and 2.0, however you will not get Visual Studio support if you try to develop a 2.0 application within 2002.  The only option if you want to write 2.0 applications is to download the Framework SDK and use the command-line compiler and notepad (with MSBuild if you want).

  Hi,
  
  to use newer versions of .net you may use sharpdevelop or the express editions.

  However the express editions are not free (US$49) and as far as I'm aware SharpDevelop does not yet support .NET 2.0.
