Can Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 co-exist?

    Yes! All VS version can coexist!
    On my laptop I have Visual Studio 6.0, VS.NET 2003 and VS 2005 installed. No problems.

    Double click on a C++ file will always use VS 2005 (the latest version)!

    Is there a way to interrupt the VS2005 from automatically popping up on the "Double click of a C++ file"

    Can multiple system path sign-on files be used in any way

    Thank you in advance for your thoughts on the above.

    I have installed VS2005 but as per my knowledge there is no facility to build assembly in different framework under VS2005 (which was available in 2003).Now I want to build this dll in Framework 1.1.

    How can I do that other than re-installing VS2003

    Regards,

    Deepak

    A related question, from a Visual Studio novice:

    What is the best approach for allowing a single C++ source code tree to be compiled and linked simultaneously by different versions of Visual Studio I am porting a collection of solutions and projects from Visual Studio 7.1 to Visual Studio 8.0, but I don't want the migration wizard in Visual Studio 8.0 to make it impossible for me to build in Visual Studio 7.1 from now on; I wish to build in both in order to make sure that the source code is portable between the two. I'd like to use same directory tree for both, if it's practical.

    Are there any articles, postings, etc. that address this

    Thank you!

    I thought there might be some utility to build such assembly.Anyway thanks for your reply.

    Yes, VS2003 and VS2005 can co-exist. The .NET Framework supports running multiple versions of the framework side-by-side.

    To develop in .NET 1.1 Framework you need VS2003! There is no way arround it!
