Is multi-targeting possible using Visual Studio Express? If not, do
I have any other options to target a 1.1 framework using Visual Studio
Express? Thanks for your help, Sundar

Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 do not support multi-targeting. VS 2k3
can only work with .NET v1 stuff, and VS 2k5 just does .NET v2 stuff.
It looks like the next version of Visual Studio, 2008, will support
building both .NET 2 and .NET 3 applications. I do not know if the
express editions of Visual Studio 2008 will have this ability or not,
though the features that each edition will have probably haven't been
finalized yet. From the websites that came up when searching for
Visual Studio multi-targeting, it looks like 2008 will only be able to
work with .NET 2.0 and up, not with .NET 1. If you are using the
Express editions of VS 2005, then you pretty much have to use .NET
2.
