Am wondering if it's possible to make VS2003.NET work with .NET2.0 SDK? Just
as we were able to use VS7.1 compiler kit in VS6.0. My company bought lots
of VS2003.NET but now we want to use .NET 2.0 but without using VS2005
Express, etc. Possible?

Technically, yes, as you could dink with the registry in 1.0 and make it
work with 1.x. You will miss a lot and have to compile with the 2.0 command
line compiler. In addition, you will not have the design surface and any of
the new features. But, it CAN be done, technically.

Would I do it? Not in a million years!
