I'm sure this might be a dumb question, but I thought I'd go right to the groups to hopefully get a quick explanation. I'm writing a client app in VS 2005 that references a web service I had written in VS 2003. The client app utilizes 2.0, the web service uses 1.1. I know that the two can communicate, but can I pull the web service project into the VS 2005 solution and still it will rely on 1.1 (because the hosting server is only 1.1 capable). Alright ... ready to discuss ... go!

.NET 1.1 in Visual Studio 2005

Hi!
VS 2005 do not support 1.1 framework. But 2.0 is very compatible with 1.1 at source level, so you can simply recompile. Web service clients will not see difference - they communicate with XML that don't care about .NET versions.
If hosting is your server - install 2.0 there and it will work with 1.1 and 2.0 at the same time with no problems.

That's right - keep your webservice project's code in VS2003. You *can* eference it from your client in VS2005, generating your proxies in .NET2.0 code.
HTH!

A .NET framework 2.0 application can consume web service from all kinds of source, for example, .NET framework 2.0 web service, .NET framework 1.1 web service, or even web service from other platform. So I think it is "workable" system from your description.
