[thelist] Can I develop .NET 1.1 with VS '05?

I'll try to make this long story short. We developed a CMS for State
agency with PHP/MySQL with the blessing of the Ohio Information
Technology (OIT) department. That version would not have been hosted
on OIT server.

Then they changed their minds and said that they needed to maintain
control and had to host. Well, they won't support PHP or MySQL, so we
had to redo the app. The documentation they gave us said that their
environement is 'enabled for .NET 1.1.' When we got to looking at the
MS tools, everything is .NET 2.0. We asked them if we could use .NET
2.0, but they never responded.

As is always the case, the client has no clue about all of these
things, and they were clamoring for progress. So we went ahead and did
a classic ASP site, because we knew that would work for sure.

Now, we are ready to deliver (again) and OIT is saying that they
cannot load balance an ASP site, only the .NET sites. What I am afraid
of is that we are going to end up building this thing all over again.

That's the background, now here is my question -- can I build a .NET
1.1 application with VS 05 straight out of the box, with no
configuration issues?
